Three weeks ago, a devastating earthquake forever changed the lives and destiny of our neighbors in Haiti. Sources report the death toll at over 100,000; millions more are either wounded, homeless or both. Although there are people who have become numb to this subject, this so-called tragedy is only the beginning of a long awaited rebirth for the brave and resilient people of Haiti.
For Haiti, the focus is now on healing and recovery. The rebuilding efforts will take decades, not unlike those of Hurricane Katrina and the Gulf Coast of the United States. I would like to help steer this focus for our readers, in order to maximize the rebuilding efforts. Keep in mind that sometimes it takes a major disaster to bring to light what is best in all of us.
The situation in Haiti has already inspired numerous goodwill efforts, including volunteerism, donations and prayers. The world has united under this one cause - and that inspiration should not go unrecognized. In a time when most people are living harried lives and generally fixate on their own problems, bringing people together in a worldwide cause could be called miraculous. Energy which unites the world is a miracle. We may not be able to see it, explain it, measure or quantify it in any way – but it is there. Haiti needs to receive this miraculous healing energy now.
Although the earthquake claimed many victims, it is important to not perpetuate the “victim” energy. By sending Haiti and her people our loving and compassionate thoughts, we are honoring the best in every one of us. Some people believe that what happened in Haiti was their fate. Whatever your school of thought, do what you're compelled to do, whether that means nothing at all or simply sending your prayers.
A prayer is merely a transfer of healing energy. The fascinating thing about energy is that it has the power to combine with other similar energy and produce results. It even has the power to come back to you. As the world is inspired to come together to help Haiti, I believe that we will see numerous positive stories of triumph and courage radiating from this "tragedy," possibly helping us in a time of need.
Kind of like a boomerang…
