Today with the rain and darkness my spirits were down. This usually happens when the weather is gloomy but today, with the memory of conditions in Haiti still fresh in my mind, it was particularly tough to motivate myself. Not being able to work outside I did some things on the computer and with household chores to keep myself busy. One of thing I did was prepare some of the pictures I took in Haiti that give a living color view of conditions there. The conditions are terrible and we need to ask Where did all the money go? but in a color digital picture the sadness and joy are more manageable.
My companions on the journey have send me some reflections and pictures which I hope to share with all soon on a web page called Haiti, Return to Slavery or Freedom. In the meanwhile you can find some of the pictures on Flicker at Haiti.
I have talked before about all I learned from my deceased son Peter on being down, rejected and feeling stigmatized. While in Haiti I thought a lot about Peter and while there, seeing and hearing the cry of the poor, or on gloomy days like today his spirit keeps me going. My heart is in pain but thanks to God and my son it is a peaceful pain
