Welcome to The Cahokian... A thousand years ago Cahokia — across the Mississippi from what is now St. Louis — was one of the biggest cities in the world. Now it's an empty green spot next to the highway. I'm a middle-aged gay man living in New York City, center of the world, future footnote on somebody's future map. Welcome to the new world.

Miracles
This is a photo from the shrine of St. Roch I took in New Orleans in the early 1990s. St. Roch is the patron saint of limbs: people who have successfully prayed to St. Roch for the health of an arm or leg have left hundreds of cast cement arms and legs in the shrine as offerings of thanks.
I've had my own share of miracles and I'm unbelievably grateful for every one.
