Sarah McLachlan

I was looking for a friend of mines site about his documentary on a young soldier in Iraq called ‘The World on Fire’ and I found Sarah McLachlan’s World on Fire site.  Boy, I was really impressed.  What a great thing to do to point out the comparative realities of life on this planet, and how we, I take things for granted.

The world has so many people in it, and here I am sitting at a new laptop, posting through broadband my silly thought about the world through my eyes.  I am almost broke and looking for new work, thinking I am a poor man in this culture, while my belly is full, I have clean water to drive, have access to health care, my electricity and phone bills are paid for and when I was walking down the street this morning I did not have to fear being blown up, shot dead on the street by armed thugs, or worry about whether the air was filled with plutonium.

That is my mini gratitude list for the day.
