As I’ve looked around this week for
\ngood news, the best I have come up with is quite beautiful and
\nastounding…smack in the middle of the Haitian earthquake crisis. This
\nis not front page news, but it should be. For right in the middle of
\nthe Great Recession where people around the globe are feeling
\nfinancially strapped and constricted — a record response of support
\nfor the victims of earthquake in Haiti has occurred. And literally,
\nmillions of people and governments from around the world have rallied
\nto provide aid and support of all kinds to help the people of Haiti in
\ntheir time of great need.<\/p>\n

Outside of 9\/11, I have never seen
\nsuch a show of global support. And while the process of providing aid
\nand support has not been without its challenges…the intention behind
\nthis support is undeniable. We all want the people of Haiti to know that we care about them and want greatly to help ease their suffering. <\/i><\/font><\/p>\n

Many
\nwill say…why could we not see their suffering sooner? Haiti is the
\npoorest of the poor. Where were we when they needed us before?<\/p>\n

<\/i>But this is not the time to throw stones and lay blame. This is the time to forgive and to heal and to realize that we are not separate from one another.<\/i> <\/p>\n

The
\npain of one human being or one nation is all of our pain. This is not
\njust the message and lesson of Haiti. This is the message and lesson
\nfor our time as a people living on this planet.<\/i><\/p>\n

We are just beginning to realize our connectedness at a collective level and this, my friends, is good news for us all. <\/p>\n

May it not continue to require an earthquake or tragedy to shake us from our deep sleep.<\/p>\n

Peace and Blessings! <\/p>\n
