Something terrible is going on
in a distant part
of
the
world
Open your eyes this
morning
see what your fellow
beings
are experiencing
Natural disasters - terrible earthquakes and floods
put one's own
problems into perspective
Unemployment may
be up - you may be broke
You can take comfort
in the fact that your house is not flooded and that the
power lines
are operating well in your area
We ride on our small boats
toward a safe haven
headlines don't tell the full story
of billions of individuals
on our blue earth
Living day to day
and wondering if there is a G-d
who will lead them home
