Red-headed Step-child!

My spirit is tempered by the overwhelming tragedy in Haiti.  The many scenes of death and injury fill the airways in an effort to convey the magnitude of the events as they unfold.  I witnessed many bodies lying strewn on roadways as the survivors are left to grieve while still trying to secure their own safety.  Bodies trapped between crumbled infrastructures, tears carving trails along dirt stained faces, survivors walking listlessly around rubble and trash.  My heart goes out to the Haitian people.  As a world community, we are faced yet again with a tragedy that reaches beyond autonomous borders and above the realm of reason.  We can only console, assist, and give refuge! I am motivated by the human spirit, more importantly the resolve to overcome tragedy.  For instance, NBC showed a mother clutching her son, a boy no more than seven years old, as doctors sewed his leg shut without anesthesia.  The pain was evident in his face yet his demeanor was still regal.  He endured to survive, his resolve is inspiring.
