Shining in the Dark: Finding Some Good in the Tragedy of the Oil Spill

Dear Readers,

I've just returned from visiting family in Florida, the very week the oil spill hit Pensacola beaches. Please read about my first-hand account of the oil spill and its effect on people and marine life in my new Huffington Post blog at:


“Shining in the Dark: Finding Some Good in the Tragedy of the Oil Spill”

Thanks so much for reading and may we all make a difference every day in this catastrophe that affects us all. And if you'd like to comment, please do so on the Huffington Post blog so I can answer you. 

If we keep our hearts and eyes open, we can witness and use our imaginations and our pocketbooks to help. Remember, there are some deep-sea creatures who make light (bioluminescense) simply as a by-product of their existence. We can also make some more light in this very dark time, by balancing our fear with hope. And try the technique I suggest for PTSD in this Huff Post. It is something we can practice. As the poet Rilkie writes, we can lend our "dark light."
