As a moment of silence and respect for the earthquake in Haiti which occurred yesterday, I won’t be posting a regular post today.
I don’t know why this really affects me, when thousands of natural disasters happen everyday and in other countries..but it’s just that Haiti is already so driven down to the ground, do they really need an earthquake?
Here’s a good blog post from the NY Times which lists several ways you can help donate:
I woke up this morning, since my alarm clock is my radio tuned to KPFK (90.7)…it was Democracy Now with Amy Goodman and I just heard “Earthquake” and “Haiti” and I thought, “Crap.”
Apparently, this Haitian-American living here lost all of her family in this earthquake, and every major building in Port Au Prince got flattened, almost. Their Montana Hotel (The main hotel for visiting journalists), presidential Palace, the cathedral’s roof caved in, houses crashed ontop of houses killing entire families….how sad. And here I am just sitting around, wondering what to crochet.
Here all of us are, getting angry at a car in front of us, or people crossing the street, or that an order came up wrong in a fast food restaurant.
Nice blog and very nice craft of language. Keep it up!
