Haiti

By this time we’ve all seen the photos of corpses and destruction.  We’ve heard the inspiring stories and, unfortunately, the blood-curdling stupidity, that accompany tragedy.  Words are an inadequate balm.

These are times that remind us to be grateful and, in the face of that gratitude, to be generous.  Generous with our time, our funds, our comfortable blankets and the comfort of an embrace.  If you are in the position to donate, I have included a list of reputable, established charities.  For those of you who can make it, a good friend of mine is hosting a fantastic event, Hearts for Haiti, on Wednesday night.  Details can be found here.

(I posted a pre-earthquake photo.  Sometimes seeing what has been hurt is more poignant than the aftermath.)
