Maker Faire Baton Rouge 2016

Because Of The Flood facilitates sharing of experiences from the 2016 Louisiana floods.
During the flood
- my backyard became an ocean, with waves lapping up the grass
- water burst forth from under the Earth, devouring the sidewalk
- the streets turned into rivers, streaming over and around us
- everything swam away, only the jealous water persisted
After the flood, I
- stayed inside tending to my family
- avoided facebook like the plague
D1: Play a melody if you know someone who had to evacuate. D2: Play a melody if you know someone who was rescued. D3: Play a melody if you helped clean out a house. D4: Play a melody if you volunteered at a shelter.
Because of the flood, I
- visited an old friend that I hadn’t seen in a long time
- learned the point of view of the homeless
- got rid of lots of old junk
- met my neighbors
Conclude with a prayer or a positive affirmation. Here are some examples: • I do not judge the universe. (Dalai Lama XIV) • I am like a giant oak tree
