HAITI EARTHQUAKE VICTIMS
AND OTHER IMPENDING
AND OTHER IMPENDING
LOSSES OF LIFE AND LOVE

I thought not knowing if they were dead or alive was worse than if I knew they were dead. Now I know and knowing is worse! For knowing removes all hope, forces you to think about them only in the past tense. Knowing, Denies the spirit and the mind the comfort of imagining circumstances that would allow hope to continue. Knowing brings a different perspective of time. Before you knew, time was of the essence. Time demanded something must be done. Every moment seemed like an eternity. After knowing, time is endless, abundant. You are drowning in time but nothing can be done. Knowing leaves you alone to ponder why, what if and should have. Knowing with finality provides you with answers but the points are moot.
