'Haiti has never been more slippery ground than it is right now. Bodies littering the streets. Entire communities buried in rubble. Homes pancaked to dust.
For those of us who know and love Haiti, now our hearts are also slippery ground. We are hopeful one moment then filled with despair the next. ' |
