Most people have a good idea of what happens at Bourbon Street in the evenings, but what may not be as well known is that a tireless band of sanitation workers powerwashes a good part of the French Quarter every morning. The picture of these cleaners is at St. Joseph’s square. As I walked along these roads and snapped these photos, I couldn’t help but think of forgiveness. It may be a longer essay someday, but what struck me is how faithfully and thoroughly these workers work each day to clean and to make things new.
May forgiveness wash over us today!
