And yet more tragedy

From Alesia

It seems like so many of our posts this year have been about tragedy. Today, just going through the motions of the routines of life seems muffled by the overlayer of sadness and the dark mirror of horrendous suffering in the aftermath of Katrina.

School physicals? NPR reports of the desperate straits of the hospitals in New Orleans.

Orientation at elementary school? USA Today article on the tens of thousands displaced from the schools and colleges there.

The money’s on the way to the relief organizations, but it never feels like enough. Images of death and destruction are made even more vivid by our memories of the recent tsunami. Mother Nature is in her Bitch phase, and our defenses aren’t up to her fury.

All of our thoughts and prayers here at the Literary Chicks are with those of you affected by this horrible tragedy. I hope aid flows more quickly and the rebuilding process can begin soon.

Hugs,
Alesia
