The window is full of calm, a silent, still night is coming down, Haiti is crying, and I am stunned by the thought of all that we know and love around us, swept away in one terrible moment, that it happens to people all the time, that it is only luck so far that has saved us.
Afuera todo esta calmado, silencioso, aún no llega la noche, Haití llora, y yo asombrada por la dureza de todo lo que nos rodea y amamos, abatida por un momento tan terrible que atraviesan tanta personas a la vez, esa es toda la suerte que nos ha salvado hasta ahora.
