In such an awful time, I thought I would remind DU of what pragmatists we humans truly are.

Humans are resilient as hell. We can take a beating, and keep coming back for more.

The only things a flood can destroy are physical objects. The people and their courage will remain-- and rebuild.

12. Awesome post. Recommended. I'm sick of the doomsday crap.

And if I may, I'll add one that I TRIED to post earlier in the day. It's a photo taken after a devestating flood that I lived through in North Dakota.



I thought it was VERY appropriate.

15. I saw those, and those were also terrific

[nytemare]

16. Thank you.

My heart goes out to those folks in New Orleans and the gulf coast. At times like that, sometimes it is only thinking about the strength of the human spirit that can actually get you through.

on edit: I see you were posting to someone else. Oops.

21. These are beautiful, my dear nytemare...

Thank you so much for posting all these wonderful pics...

Now more than ever do we need to remember just how resilient we humans are...

And how much beauty there is in our spirit...

We will survive this terrible storm...

We might be changed, but somehow we will survive...

I keep thinking of a boy I liked in fifth grade who was born on the roof of a house during a flood.

Yep! People can be spectacular in seemingly insignificant ways...
