Carl McLendon was part of the Journey to Haiti team. He shares some of his photos and stories with us in Refractions. For more from Carl, see his blog, Simple Gestures.

"I don’t think the important thing is to be certain about answers nearly as much as being serious about the questions. When we hold the questions, we meet and reckon with our contradictions, with our own dilemmas...When we hang on the horns of the dilemma, between the divine and the human realms—it creates liminal space. All transformation takes place when we’re somehow in between, inside of liminal space." -- Richard Rohr

Today [Sunday Aug. 22] we shared stories of the people we encountered in Haiti, and in expressing ourselves we now look toward the future together with these people who have stolen our hearts. Hopefully we can move forward without falling victim to our pride or hubris which might have us proclaim to have answers to problems we might never fully comprehend. If we learn to embrace this space of humility, we might find ourselves enmeshed in stories we can not yet imagine.
