Humbled Before Nature

Today I was able to work with a dedicated group clearing out Joe W. Brown Memorial Park – a nature preserve – of a bush that has sprouted and interfered with the reproduction of other growing species. We were informed by one of the workers that this harmful plant was not found in the preserve until after Katrina.

The devastation is incalculable, and though the power of nature makes me fearful, today’s job helped me to appreciate the beauty around me.
