My thoughts are in Haiti

Thoughts of Paris and all of it's beauty have shifted this week to thoughts of Haiti and all of it's suffering and devastation. The aftermath of possibly the worst earthquake in history is all-consuming. The images of the vicitims burned in mass graves, the ruins and rubble, the faces of the survivors - injured, helpless and hopeless - a society already living well beyond third world conditions. The thousands upon thousands that have lost their lives and the unknown numbers of the thousands still waiting to be rescued.
Priorities have changed, dreams of travel and visiting sights I have been longing to see, are all on hold right now. Now the focus is on helping, praying, and hoping.
So goodbye for now, my dear Paris. I know that someday we will meet, but in this present moment, I choose to shift all of my thoughts, prayers and energy to the people of Haiti. May God be with them.
