A study in Juxtapositions

I am sitting here, wondering what to write.  No words.  Today, we said 'goodbye' to the orphans.  Lumps in our throats, tears in our eyes, a silent ride home.  And yet, I have emotions and words bubbling over in my heart.  Too many to speak, too many to write.  Welcome to Haiti, Land of Juxtapositions.  The juxtaposition of too much vs. too little.  Too little wealth and material, Too much joy and love.  Too much rubble and dust, too little water and power.  Too many tap-taps and cars, too little rules and road lanes.  I fell in love this week.  I will write more later.  I need time to sort this out.  I am just finishing my first mission trip, but I am just beginning my mission.
