This is the story of one man, who loses everything in the hell of Hurricane Katrina. He loses home, personal and professional belongings, and maybe more.

How does he cope with the loss? Where does he direct his anger, his frustration? How does he try to rebuild his life, profession, and community? Does he wallow in self-destruction or resurrect from the ashes? Does he have the inner resources to continue? How does he begin to give hope to people who have lost everything also? Where does he go for support? What does he discover about himself in the dark days and nights after the hurricane? Are there any answers to all those questions? Maybe, this book will provide some answers.

This is his story. But, in a way, it is everyone's story who has lost a heart, a home, a job, a friendship, a soul mate, a loved one.

All journeys are journeys of encounter with the Lord who walks with us in the cool of the evening. Sometimes they are deadly silent; other times they are full of travail. But all times, no matter what the occasion or circumstance, they are journeys with rather than against; journeys to rather than from; journeys indwelling rather than dissipating. Any journey demands both a challenge and a risk; an act of faith in what is to come because of the assurance of what is past. Yet, the challenge and risk always leads to a homecoming. And the journey home is always shorter and full of special memories because it embodies the reality of a happy ending. A journey is an exercise in discovery; discovery of latent talents; opportune moments and the creative ability to fashion the tapestry of one’s life under the guidance of the Master Weaver. This book is a journal of life weaved from the fabric of people’s lives. Their hearts are stories of strength and weakness, heroism and heartbreak yet, woven together with hope. It is a sacramentality of life, love and living. May your journey be the same but different

Filled with food for thought, to be digested slowly; capable of making like's journey richer, insightful, and growth-filled. A trusty companion on life's highways and byways.
