A current fav. song of mine — Sleep through the Static by Jack Johnson.
It is rainy hard today which reminds me of the news reports coming out of Pakistan and those terrible floods. I’ve been following the news and feeling as helpless as anyone to do anything. The aid system is gearing up — and locally has already kicked into high gear, but the images are nonetheless frightening and simultaneously amazing. Amazing because they document human ingenuity, adaptation and propensity to survive. They also document the aid effort, such as it is. Frightening, because the situation is so desperate.
So today, on this rainy Sunday in Ottawa, my thoughts are of and with Pakistan.
