The earthquake in Haiti could have happened here. We are also close to a major fault line. In one way, it doesn't matter. Where it happens...it happens to us all.
Remember John Donne, that 17th Century poet: he reminded us that "no man is an island", and at the close of his sonnet he further reminded us "do not send to ask for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee".
We are firmly in the opening days of Marshall McLuhan's "global village". The "butterfly wing" concept is here.
No matter where we are, where we find ourselves, we need to step forward -- our brethern need us.
Doctors Without Borders, Red Cross, Red Crescent, Salvation Army, whatever your conduit is...you are needed!
