Embrace of Humility
Modesty as voltage — New Orleans quiet.
In New Orleans humility keeps odd hours — overlooked virtue, loud city, quiet power in the aftermath.
Modesty walks the maze without audition. No limelight hunger, no praise invoice — helping hand extended because the bridge needed hands.
Contrition mends what pride cracked: bridges, names, the small wars ego starts and cannot finish.
Wealth here is unburdened spirit — joy without billboard, richness that does not perform.
Each humble act lights a block the parade forgot to illuminate.
Tapestry is declined. Thread is accurate — one act, one glow, one day.
The glow still spreads. You still walk unburdened.
