Kote yo kanpe

One more message from today. No more, promise!
Just got an email from Ron Voss. He was talking about traveling 10 hours on roads under water--the kinds of floods that the police warn Hoosiers not to cross. Here's what he said:

"Its all relative!! As are points of view, of course. Moun we, kote yo kanpe.......a Haitian proverb that reveals a universal truth....that a person sees from where they stand. And genrally a person stands at the place where his or hers experience has led them......Enter the Grace of God...and that viewpoint becomes more compassionate, more equitable, more loving, and thus more joyous. In my view....thats a matter of choosing. Don't want to write a dissertation on this....but in my next life, intend to!!!!"

My take on this, as a way to improve our experience, is that we need to "choose to" vicariously (for now) experience what we can through other people, such as Father Andre', and through reading and discussing.
