I wont turn a blind eye

This image, is floating around the internet and I feel like it speaks volume. Cause Haiti is crying tears of blood, and so has the rest of the world.

I wanted the dust to clear. I wanted to wait till the Pro Haitian band wagon calmed down. I wanted to wait till I was sure what happened, and that time is now. I read a line that will stay with me, "We don't have enough medicine, we don't have enough body bags" Describing the situation in Haiti. I always feel a bit more connected to my humanity and our collective mortality, during disaster. In this time, in this moment my heart is in a deep dark place weeping for the Haitian people abroad and at home who have suffered such tremendous loss. All I can do is blog, all I can do is give, all I can do is shed tears, and hope.

I rarely want to champion a cause. This time is different. I feel like this is our moment and we should all be champions. Never forget, earth is our home and we are all neighbors. My dad said, "things like this happen as an opportunity. Good is giving you a chance to help your fellow man so that when all is said and done, you cant see you never had the chance."

This is one chance of many that we had, and I feel the general consensus that we will do the right thing.

Let my words reach these selfless heroes. Those scared victims, the mothers who must bury their children, the children who have been made into orphans in one foul swoop. When you cry we cry. You hurt and we feel, you will never be alone, every tear shed is shed for you. There will be happiness once again.
