On a solitary moment.

So sad. Now there are estimates of 200,000 dead in Haiti. One can only despair. I even hate to put on the newscast. I feel like burying my head in the sand. Shit happens. Maybe it's best to withdraw from the world. And hideout in one's cocoon. Yet, life is so sweet. One has to learn to focus. On the things that pull one through. On love. On a solitary moment. --Jim Broede

Think of it. We've had far worse man-made disasters. Not the least being the Holocaust. So if an earthquake is an act of god, it doesn't measure up to our wars. --Jim

Obviously, you already did, and it's still there.

I often feel like a grain of sand. On a vast, sprawling beach. But that is what makes me feel the wonder of life. Knowing that there is so much out there. A mystery. And I am a part of it. Conscious. Aware. Alive. On a sandy beach. --Jim

okay, I'll bite. I want to know why in the hell we are so worried about saving other countries when we have so much homelessness and starvation right here in our own towns. I am so very sick of it. It is a very sad day when a person can't get any medical help because they make $10 over the damn limit and then they die....sad sad sad
