Living in the Dominican republic, (which usually doesn't have good relations with Haiti in the social aspect) I really see a change in people. this event has made everyone fall off the stool and see what is really going on, I just hope the help continues.Get Set.Gohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15329011923510179273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-67936677001200883062010-01-14T11:45:37.621-08:002010-01-14T11:45:37.621-08:00Understand...and help where we're able.

Some of us will turn to some greater intelligence than ourselves for explanations (and some of us will turn to the Sky Bully for venom--I'm looking at you Pat Robertson). Most of us will at some point look to art, perhaps for distraction, perhaps to find some greater meaning, not in the event itself, but to our humanity. God bless the child, indeed. And perhaps it's that second strategy that is the more important. After all, there is no "meaning" to an earthquake. An earthquake is a fact, an event of nature. The meaning is found in our response, our human actions, some flawed, some magnificent, some like yours today, simply necessary.Januaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08360523461458169853noreply@blogger.com
