Never Far Apart
As I sat down to my computer this morning to write, I first went to a news site to see how it is going in Haiti. I watched a few videos with graphic content warnings at the beginning and sat afterward with tears streaming down my face. I left my computer, unable to write, and went to make breakfast. I sat before my food expressing gratitude for the meal, the shelter, the safety of my life and it occurred to me that this is one of those moments in time that is crying out for help. Haiti is far away, easy to turn off the news of the devastation. Most of us do not have any connection to Haiti and yet…we are never far apart. We are all connected and here to help each other. The more fortunate of us have an obligation to do whatever we can to be of assistance. And pretty much anybody who is reading this is infinitely more fortunate than the people of Haiti on a good day there. So what can we do? Send money through the Red Cross or the Clinton foundation. It’s easy. Pull out your debit card and send a little more than you think you can. http://www.clintonfoundation.org/haitirelief. And then go about your day because you can and be grateful.
