New Orleans Crawfish Dreams

Even when the world ends, New Orleans will endure.  Stated simply, New Orleans is an eternal city like Olympus, like Asgard, like Heaven.  Where there is a will, there is a way.  New Orleans is a testament to resilience.  Come Hell or high water, New Orleans forever.

New Orleans forever.

Miracles happen so often in New Orleans that it is hard to separate fact from fancy.  If some good thing is possible, you will probably find it in New Orleans.  Catch a wish.  Fortune and luck are interchangeable in New Orleans.  Love makes New Orleans go, love of neighbors with malice toward none.

New Orleans has the lowest suicide rate of any city with over 100,000 inhabitants in the Western Hemisphere.

New Orleanians are well-mannered drinkers.  They don’t spit.  They sip and they swallow.  Ours is a cocktail city that knows the proper use for aromatic bitters.  Southern Comfort was invented in New Orleans.  So were many other things.  If you can’t find happiness in New Orleans then you are dead from the neck up.

Now you've seen him.

Scratch an itch.  Swagger.  Take a dare.  Take a double dare, even.  Every day has a reason to celebrate, even when the reason is a funeral.  Every day is a roll of the bones in New Orleans.  Even skeletons dance.

Sanguine serendipity is the order of a New Orleans day.  There are more seraphim than succubi afoot on any New Orleans night.  Go to the right neighborhood and dreams will come true.  It will happen to you.  There are angels in New Orleans’ details.  There is a whole mess of crawfish, too.  Mmmmmm——crawfish!

An ugly man married an ugly woman.  They had beautiful children in New Orleans.  The secret to fertility is crawfish.  The secret to New Orleans is love of neighbor.  Love, crawfish, and dreams.  What a way to go.

There are saints hiding all over New Orleans.
