A View With Room To Go

In our lives we encounter those who have skills or talents/gifts we will never obtain or levels we will rarely attain. Today, those who have care and concern beyond measure reach out to the injured, hungry, lost and dying citizens on the Haitian island. To them, I bow and give honour, hoping tomorrow I can match with my whole blood or blood platelet donation a small part of your gift for compassion.

Tsunamis, floods and earthquakes teach us there is no country, religious practice or lifestyle that divides our species - we are united in the fragility of our bodies compared to the natural "powers" of this planet, unexpected or haphazard as they may seem to be (with no cause or reason).

May we all find a way to reach out to one another in good times so that in bad times our barriers are gone and assistance is much easier and quicker to give. The life you save is truly your own.
