Rising from the Destruction
I feel for the people of Haiti. A tragedy. Can any good from this disaster? Sure, if human beings choose to do something. Will it outweigh the bad? Not by a long shot. At least in the short term and on the individual level for those who have lost loved ones.
On a much, much smaller scale, I feed a tad of sadness for the destruction in our backyard. Not brought by an earthquake, but by that recent rogue week of hard freezes. I surveyed the damage yesterday. Come spring gardening time, it’s almost going to be like starting over.
Starting over. There is hope in that. In the wake of loss, what better response is there than to roll up your sleeves and do something?
