howard

when i watch the news about the oil spill in the gulf, my heart breaks.
the devastation is mind-boggling and the long-term damage beyond tragic.
i worry about my gentle, stoic heron friend, howard,
the dolphins i saw swimming in the waters on either side of the building,
and all the other beautiful birds and animals i encountered in florida.
and it makes me want to cry.

"Spill" just doesn't cover the disaster, does it?

i think my v. word sums up the efforts to fix the leak: uncess.
