Five years too soon
I was all over the Ogden today for the family day event and went through a lot of different exhibits from the painting called the Holy Trinity which had Elvis, Jesus and Robert E. Lee in it to large heavy oils of Southern landscapes, one being a street uptown to a room with photographs from Katrina. It’s been five years and after the first photograph I couldn’t turn away and I couldn’t stop from crying.
Five years is not enough time to grieve what happened on August 29, 2005. I don’t even think we have a name for it – the levee failure, Katrina, The Storm – it is still too powerful to be called the same thing by everyone it touched.
