Pray.
Pray gently.
Pray with intensity.
Dig.
Dig deep.
Dig for resources.
Stand.
Stand firm.
Stand for humanity.
Weep.
Weep fiercely.
Weep with compassion.

About Me
- Constance
- Bracebridge, Ontario, Canada
- The horrific earthquakes in Haiti have stirred up many memories for me. Rob and I worked there for five months when we were young and first married. I have followed events in Haiti with a heavy heart over the years. Two years ago I wrote a novel (novel outline really) for the Muskoka Novel Marathon. It was a 72 hour nearly sleepless write-fest which produced Tout Bagay! a novel about Haiti. It received some good criticism and I left in my computer, never thinking I'd return to the topic. However, the Haitian earthquake caused me to rethink this and I am rewriting the novel and posting it here and on Hubpages with ads from Adsense to raise money for earthquake relief.

Connie these words make me think of what I have been pondering about being simple and elemental - that is what Jesus said. This is the paradox of the deep and the visible, the light and the dark, and the never forgetting that living is about dying and my world is nothing if not connected to the rest of the world and getting a glimpse of what GOd sees. That includes the pain I observe, I walk beside, or that I walk through.
Thank you Connie for this precious post.
Beautiful and so full. Thank you. Anj
