...women, Brave As Stars At Dawn

People Aren't Really Aware Of What's Happening In Other Places.

Language Is Such A Powerful Thing. After The Earthquake, I Went To Haiti And People Were Talking About How [they] Described This Feeling Of Going Through An Earthquake. People Really Didn't Have The Vocabulary - Before We Had Hurricanes. I'd Talk With People And They'd Say, "we Have To Name It; It Has To Have A Name."

I Would Hate For People To Generalize About Every Haitian From Something That One Haitian Did, Or A Group Of Haitians Did.

Here, Though, There Is Nothing. Nothing At All. The Sky Seems Empty Even When I Am Looking At The Moon And Stars.

That Has Always Been A Strength Of Haiti: Beyond Crisis, It Has Beautiful Art; It Has Beautiful Music. But People Have Not Heard About Those As Much As They Heard About The Coups And So Forth. I Always Hope That The People Who Read Me Will Want To Learn More About Haiti.
