Perspective

Just when life seems to hand me more lemons, something absolutely devastating happens, and everything is put into perspective.

The horror of the disastrous earthquake and aftershocks in Haiti is beyond words.

Occurring in one of the most populated and poorest areas in the world, the suffering is incomprehensible.

The powerlessness I feel in my inability to physically assist those in despair can only lead me to pray for those in harm's way.

All of those in need, and all of those compassionate souls who are on their way to help, are in my thoughts and prayers.

My mantra speaks to me now more than ever, 'Care deeply, love generously, speak kindly, and leave the rest to God.'
