As you may have noticed, I haven't blogged in awhile. To be honest, I had given up. I started missing days, then weeks, of posts and then tried to get back into it, but it just wasn't the same. That, and I got a little disillusioned with the whole blogging thing. Self-doubt and a general feeling that I'd said everything I'd ever wanted to say crept in.
Lately, though, I've felt the need to express myself, so perhaps I'm back on the wagon. We shall see. Today I was inspired to break back into blogging by some very sad news. Apparently a surgeon working with my favorite organization in the world, PIH, was the victim of a homicide.
I've read about this guy, and he, like pretty much everybody associated with PIH, was just absolutely amazing. A beautiful soul doing the kind of work I wish I had the guts/smarts/general wherewithall to do. The fact that he was murdered is so just wrong on so many levels. It is what is so very wrong with this world.
I'm in mourning. I'd be depressed and despondent, I suppose, if I wasn't so angry. Anger is a gift.
Rest In Peace Josue Augustin. Here's praying that the rest of us get it together and create a world where this doesn't happen.
