With Wilma approaching the Florida coast, I thought it appropriate to share some pictures that I came across of the damage Katrina wrought on Ocean Springs, Mississippi (just across the bay from Biloxi) as a reminder of the very real effects these storms are having on the people living along the Gulf.
I swear the earth shall surely be complete to him or her who shall be complete!
I swear the earth remains jagged and broken only to him or her who remains jagged and broken!
I swear there is no greatness or power that does not emulate those of the earth!
I swear there can be no theory of any account, unless it corroborate the theory of the earth!
No politics, art, religion, behavior, or what not, is of account, unless it compare with the amplitude of the earth,
Unless it face the exactness, vitality, impartiality, rectitude of the earth.
- Walt Whitman
