Here was my way of expressing Hurricane Harvey in 70 Images

At a loss for words so here are 70 photos that explain what I can't.

We the people are America and when it counts we are great. When it's life and death there is no divide. We all value the exact same things. Houston stay strong because the struggle is just beginning. There is no one in Houston who doesn't know someone who hasn't lost every material possession. Those of us who escaped feel some form of survivors guilt. There is no joy is being lucky but a sense of almost shame.

If you want to see the future of the United States look here.

Houston is an extreme melting pot where every day 72 languages are spoken. Politically it is not red or blue but a solid purple. The strength and bravery I saw came in all shapes, sizes and colors but it was all powered by LOVE. When we could only save what we carried, we carried our family, friends, neighbors and each other.

When there is only time and room for one emotion... LOVE WINS.

Music is the Universal Language . There is no person ,no matter where they live or the language they speak, not see or feel the pain by all living creatures in the storm. I know that composing music brings out what is felt in the soul. Thank you for sharing.

Barry the photos and the song are so powerful. Here in Ohio, we did not experience the devastation that has occurred in Texas. This brings attention the strife that is effecting so many. Our church continues to send support and supplies, along with many prayers. Keep the message LOUD!
