[Oe List ...] Kerala Floods

[Ellie Stock]

Thanks, Mary.  Great article.  We've also been in touch with folks Chenoa knows from when she worked there in 2004-05.  Some of these areas in Kerala must have also experienced and had to recover from the 2004 tsunami.

<div>This article has been written and published by my cousin's son Vivek George who lives and works in Kochi, Kerala.

Personally, I think that the task of rehabilitation is a grassroots task that is likely to take 30  to 40-years if we treat Mother Earth kindly and work collaboratively.

I share this because we have a great deal to learn about tragedies and how we can work together to address the immediate issues and work on long-term solutions. It is the task of cultural re-orientation and recreating paradigms that demonstrate our interdependence.

May we have the grace to listen carefully, learn well and work collaboratively for our common well being,
Mary

Now as water recedes, this flood has made us think and realize that we have not lost everything. Please read through this article which details 10 positive takeaways from this calamity.
