Observations...

Let me share the silent hurricane that is my mind at this particular time.
This book I'm reading makes me think of all the crazy terrible things that people, or I should say anyone that posed a threat to the government, had to endure for their freedom. Its as if Pandora's box was re-opened and I can't stop wondering what if...

I walked through 103rd and Lex today and as I passed Park & Madison I couldn't stop from staring at the buildings that compose the projects like a maze, connecting people, families, childhood friends, communities, history... a lot of it looked run down and I started to wonder again... about the young lords and what they were upset about... at first it was getting the garbage picked up and then about what the communities needed... and well, has anything really changed? Did the neighborhood improve? I can't stop wondering what if...

But that's the beauty of NYC you have these avenues that make you think of pricey clothes and bugie people, but never does it cross your mind that there lies 103rd and Park... the appearances drive me nuts. And then I landed on 5th avenue... simply gorgeous and well put together (like a sleek pony tail with pearl earrings), mean while down the block you have a whole world of survivors... trying to survive.

There was an earth quake in Haiti. Scary isn't it? Scary because we don't know how many casualties there are, because no one really mentioned Haiti until this catastrophe happened, because as I worry where or what I'll be doing next month with my life and my talents there are thousands of other third world people out there worse off. Being a little bit privileged makes you worry about things that others would think themselves lucky to worry about...
So I wonder, in the grander scheme of life... what will really matter?
