Reflection

I cannot fathom at this moment the world in crisis. While my day continues and my gripe about the price of gas, the latest political endorsement, or the rude bank teller will just fade into another day, there is devastation throughout the world. With the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China, I find it absolutely impossible to get my thoughts around the fact that possibly over 100,000 people have died. I wish we were more globally minded. I wish our culture wasn't so egocentric and self-absorbed. I feel like there is a moral obligation to help, in some way. While we sleep tonight in our warm beds, in our beautiful homes, eat great food, go to work at great jobs, have access to health care and education, the world goes on. The devastation goes on. Trust me, when it is all said and done, we will wish we had done more.
