So Haiti is hell right now. A nightmare. A brain and heart numbing tragedy.
It's giving me panic attacks ever since I saw an Anderson Cooper report about "stupid deaths." The bureaucracy organizing itself while people are dying. Then, they show a food drop from a helicopter and watch the big guys run over mothers with dehydrated babies to take the food and water for themselves. There are people 'looting' looking for food—under the circumstances that may fall into the category of hunting and gathering. What else are they supposed to do? There are also guns firing, thugs raping and running with televisions instead of looking for survivors.
It's making me crazy. Why is my mind sticking there? It's not the time for justice. Maybe it's too hard to think about the broken sufferers.

Nance- You have a gift, and you can channel that outrage and heartache into your art. I love your hostage series. Maybe you have a Haiti series in you too.
