Nou Led, Nou La
The Nou Led, Nou La experience was quiet moving. I kept contemplating over each piece whether it was a poem, a life story, or the way they played music. It wasn’t a judgment factor; it was more of an interest in their factor. This was my first time attending an event at Miami Dade and you can tell that when a country needs help we are will to lend a helping hand. Some poets and writers expressed sorrow and appreciation for the help. While others didn’t quiet see the Haitian movement as a down fall. Now of course this was a tragic matter, there is no doubt about that. But not everyone see things from a negative perspective. There was one lady there, whom I cant remember her name, but she gave an extraordinary and different perspective on the whole Haitian dilemma. Her words were that, everything happens for a reason. Whether what you experience is, good, the bad, or the right and wrong. Things happen so you can learn from the situations, and grow as a person. Now no one wants to be apart of something as tragic as Haiti, but what Haiti encounters allows them to grow as individuals and as a country. What Haiti witness from their desperate time, is the willingness people have to help them, they are not our country, but they are still people who are in dire need of support, donations, and a lot of spirit so that they can continue moving on day by day. Before the writer, a band was playing Haitian music. And I came to realize that not everything was about poor Hatit, it was more about, yes, that did happen, now lets try to rebuild ourselves and try again. And I believe that’s what the music did to the people in the audience. It wasn’t feeding us their culture, it was showing how people we tend to mix music with an uplifting spirit, and with unhappy times, we need music to motivate us to look forward. Showing us that times are bad, but we can make them good. Even though there were some high spirits in the auditorium, the truth of the matter is that what happen, happened. People died, cities destroyed, and now everyone has to start from scratch. Another writer lost her baby brother due to the earth quakes. What happen is real, and its extended its hurt, it pain, and its suffering through the whole world. So not only should we help with donations and sympathetic talks, but we should also give power to our lives. To say that we are here today and we will still be standing here tomorrow.
