I leave the house around 10:30. Across Saint Claude I hit the stream of beauty. I take the stream to Franklin, the joy is amplified.

I cross Royal.

A man sits with his head in his hands the look of sadness permeates. I walk past him and make it 5 steps contemplating all of us, on the street having the best time, he sits 3 feet away sad. I look like magic, today I will be. I walk back thrust out my hand with a 20.

“Happy Mardi Gras brother” I say, he looks up and smiles

“How did you know” with a quick Triple take on that $20 the sadness lifts I see the person not the pain

“I just know” I say , “I’m magic” trying to be present but deliberate in my intention

“I’m one of the good ones” he says, longing in his voice, I tear up

“I know man”

We look at each other, he sees me glittery and gold, Today I saw him, and that’s what made the difference

He smiles, sunshine and sparkles on his face, shakes his head, today he can be whoever he wants

Happy Mardi Gras

Dawn and I went to the Lyons parade practice. Maybe should be renamed one of the best bar tours in the city. Dawn and I want to thank the Lyons, and everyone involved it was a blast and I can’t wait to see everyone again.

What exactly Anba Dlo is you will have to click on through to the official festival website for the explanation.

From the website:
“The New Orleans’ spirit is about celebrating life; whatever the situation may be. This spirit is the basis for Anba Dlo- we come together to celebrate New Orleans’ important and changing relationship with water while educating on the important issues. Anba Dlo (Pronounced “Ahnbah Dlo”) is Haitian Kreyol for “Beneath the Waters” and is meant to acknowledge and honor the importance of water in our life.”

Dawn and I attended this year with some friends.

Decadence 2015

What can you say about something that’s so much fun even my photos won’t come close to doing it justice. This year our gypsy friends Carey and Demir were in town. We Wrangled them into marching with the pussyfooters holding the banner, I think they had a pretty good time. Read the rest of this entry »
