I brought a lot of feelings back with me from New Orleans and, as in an unquiet desire of saying, I have been looking for ways to express them. Since we came back thoughts about fate, destruction, reconstruction, groups, communities, life, lives, change and transformation have been alive inside of me. “How can we help?” has been the question I ask myself every morning since. How can we help the people that need our help? I wanted to share that with you. But more than that, I wanted to hear from you what kinds of feelings you brought back. That’s why I decided to start this blog. Use this space however you want and share.
