the central plateau of haiti is rolling farm fields. it’s also the part of the county in deepest poverty. people in need of food, clean water, and medicine. yet people abundant in kindness, beauty, and grace. mornings were beautiful: sounds of farmers, roosters, and cows; sights of sun rising over fog-covered hills. this place—these people—stay with me, deep in my heart.
Of course! On the north shore of Haiti, these kestrels seem to prefer coastal acacia scrub near the sea and mangroves
Our hearts and prayers go out to the people of this devastated island nation as casualty estimates rise in this enormous tragedy.

Haïti, mon pays,
wounded mother I'll never see.
Ma famille set me free.
Throw my ashes into the sea.
Mes cousins jamais nés
hantent les nuits de Duvalier.
Rien n'arrete nos esprits.
Guns can't kill what soldiers can't see.
In the forest we lie hiding,
unmarked graves where flowers grow.
Hear the soldiers angry yelling,
in the river we will go.
Tous les morts-nés forment une armée,
soon we will reclaim the earth.
All the tears and all the bodies
bring about our second birth.
Haïti, never free,
n'aie pas peur de sonner l'alarme.
Tes enfants sont partis,
In those days their blood was still warm
