wk 2 being a contributor
In light of what has happened in Haiti I would like to point a direction to giving. In the book The Art of Possibility I was completely taken aback when it finally sunk in that what I have to contribute is important. The fact that the universe is waiting, listening perched on the edge of itself waiting for what I will contribute to it. This is such a profound awakening that I had to take quite a few breaks to grasp its gravity. All these years I have been saying who would want to listen? not knowing that my perception and my ideas about myself caused me to stop doing things that I loved and contributing to peoples lives even in a simple way. Now back to Haiti anything that you do for someone who has NOTHING is an improvement. I am amazed at the Americans online who say we have people right here who need help too. WHAT?! but they weren't helping them either and Yes this is true however, the level of assistance that my Haitian brothers and sisters need is at a level so far beyond even the most worse off person in America. The country of Haiti has been this way for many decades and America has turned a blind eye. I believe when we give to others that our world will be realized within it as well.

What difference is it going to make? It makes a difference to the one receiving the aid.
