Haiti and Compassion

The Haiti disaster reminds me that acts of compassion add meaning to our lives.EMILY DICKINSON [1830-1886] wrote

If i can stop one heart from breaking,
I shall not live in vain;
If i can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
Or help one fainting robin
Unto his nest again,
I shall not live in vain.

Thank you to all the first responders to this tragedy. You have also enriched our lives.
