Why do those who suffer most have to suffer even more? When disasters like the Haitian earthquake occur, I often do think, "But for the Grace of God go I." What if, instead of a beautiful little podunk town like Sandpoint . . . what if I'd been born somewhere else? How much easier or how much more difficult would life have been had I grown up somewhere else? Would I be sitting at a computer in the comfort of my country home tapping away at the keyboard, organizing my thoughts on how to react to the latest world tragedy, or would I have been trapped under a building in the rubble, still breathing and wondering if I would survive?/Marianne Love, Slight Detour.
