Heart and Soul
By Tammy Derouin
I enjoyed some post-Labor Day time at
Lake Michigan over the weekend. This has to be my favorite time of
year. The weather is still nice, even with a slight chill in the
air. The water may or may not be warm enough to take on some
challenging waves, but the traffic, the activity, has calmed down for
the year. The snow fences are showing up and finding a parking place
no longer gives you a headache. For me, going to the beach has
always been a way to escape the realities of life, at least for a
little while.
As I drove home, I noticed that the car
ahead of me was from Florida. Reality was right in front of me while
the tranquility of the lake was disappearing in my rear-view mirror.
Of course, my reality of the anticipated hurricane comes through a
distant camera lens and weather reports as I sit safely in my home.
I wondered what part of Florida this couple called home. I couldn't
imagine the anxiety they must be feeling. Would they have a home
upon their return? How well would their family and friends get
through the storm? I silently wished them well as the road took us
in different directions.
As the United States braces for another
natural disaster, I know the goodness of the American people will
shine like a beacon in the night. It's what we do. When disaster
strikes, we roll up our sleeves and help our fellow man. Politics
and agendas disappear as the heart and soul of America radiates with
unselfish acts of kindness.......
