like a pebble tossed in a pond, a seemingly insignificant event can have effects amplified throughout the entirety of a system. The small ripple created when the pebble hits the water can be a wave by the time it reaches the opposing shoreline. Likewise, in the planning context, the ripple effects of a new exurban shopping center, downtown high-rise or medical complex are felt far beyond any single neighborhood or city. The effects of development resonate beyond surrounding counties and metropolitan
seemed so insignificant to us made a big difference to them. We all had something to contribute and in turn were transformed by the experience; we gave our labor and the people of New Orleans showed us amazing hospitality.

Bones crumble. Skin explodes. Nerves

Grieving over one’s loss as well as recalling fond memories of the individual who has passed are just some of the conventional ways to mourn.
