The tragedy of Haiti weighs heavy on my mind.
We sleep peacefully, comfortably, soundly.
In the morning we rise, we dress, we eat.
Our days task are normal, we are easily capable of performing them.
We hug our family, phone our friends.
At the grocery store I am aware of endless bottles of water, aisles of food.
I purchase tulips to usher in the feeling of spring.
Our vehicles carry us to and fro, for work and pleasure.
Appliances clean for us, media entertains us.
We cook, plentiful, nourishing food, presented on a clean crisp table cloth, candles glowing.
I think about it all day long,
feeling almost guilty about being so blessed
living life unscathed
and wondering why not me?
Jack's cousin Karen works in Haiti, tirelessly, selflessly. Another cousin is on his way to help.

Love turned into action!
The school that we support is flattened, but Randy stayed behind to help his teachers and students.
