I Am

So, it’s Haiti! Someone, something teaches what we have yet to learn. Marvel with me as genuine global cooperation emerges as the human response to unbelievable disaster. Boundaries do not distinguish the compassionate. Nationality becomes only an identifier. The world has witnessed the fragility of its relationship to its Source. Through the eyes of Haiti humankind is viewing a clear answer to the question of whether or not it is moral for mortals to impose or inflict death. It is not. We cannot even begin to deal with natural death albeit catastrophic. We glimpse the absurdity of “mass destruction”. The world’s resources are being pooled in recognition of our oneness and our mutual responsibility to keep each other afloat to avoid sinking together. Whatever you want to call it: Mother Nature, geology, theology—or even if you maintain that it is unknowable, unspeakable, transcendent—abruptly reminds us of our fragile humanness and admonishes us to live and work together rather than commit ourselves to devising ways of death and destruction. Let not the agents of darkness stand in the way of our crossing this threshold.
