Light in dark times.

Recent world events have once again reinforced my belief that we are indeed very fortunate. In March, we watched helplessly as friends, family, and colleagues in Japan were devastated by earthquakes and tsunamis, and continue to watch the saga of a nuclear disaster unfold. Not so long ago, we witnessed the devastation in Haiti, in Australia, and again in New Zealand, as thousands of lives were lost to natural disasters. And we continue to see the horrible images of war emerging from Libya and Afghanistan. I must admit that these global events make me wonder what I can do.
