For Mardi Gra the major event of the schedule looks like a good one, the Ball!
In NOLA there are about 50 balls at least and as I was one night lost in St. Charles Avenue.
I came upon one going on.
Everyone arrived in chauffeured limousines and dressed black tie.
There were fairy tale scenes as one would expect, based on the Cinderella story.
Yet in a way there was a sense of another old tale, the one where Cinderella doesn't get to go to the ball out of poverty and family cruelty.
What one might call child abuse or domestic violence, today.
Sadly we still have shelters yet the social problem is on the increase
instead of finding our way through the laws and social intervention,
out of the black forest or white doom!
What else from the myth can we take from Cinderella that might provide an ember
of the solution to be had?
One is that the Coach is blue and fully trimmed with gold;
Are the colors significant, to a lightening idea?
Maybe the coach is a fairy land where sexual orientation is Okay.
Maybe the night is a dream and the river this year a way of Twain toward roots!
Hope and Prayers for your ceremony, ball or party---------time and greetings to my family!
Venus and the rest of the cruegh of the tugbaot anamed "Her" floated a further forward
down the crossband and there they fouund it......yer and yar aboung, ahoa there,
"Welcome" they heard over the loudspeaker!
