There are so many terrible things in the world. So so so many terrible things. But all my emotion over tragic events (Haiti) can not do much. I don't even have $10 to give to relief efforts right now. If you are reading this, and you can, please do.
All I can do is testify to you that THERE IS beauty all around. I'm sorry to any of you who had had to listen to me complain and cry and be bitter about this situation, or that. Because we all have it good. Anyone reading this has it good.

You're not small. You're not anything normal at all. You're exquisitely extraordinary,... you're fabulously fine... mine. You're not overly serious. You're not cold... You're exquisitely extraordinary,.. you're fabulously fine. Mine. You're so real.
