Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans...

No, I haven't been there but I just spent four days at a Classic Jazz Festival and it was full of the music and memories of New Orleans. While we have moved on, many are still without homes yet they sing with hope and belief that New Orleans will return.

I have been through tornados in Ohio and earthquakes in California and I have lost very little. At best, all I can identify with is the fear of Mother Nature's fury. The wind and the rain can destroy everything we've built in a few fleeting moments. How insignificant we are in the universe.
