8184: David Young: From Chari Rabinowitz
From: Beliefcomp@cs.com

David Young loved Haiti, and spoke about the country withthe same passion,
admiration and raunchy humor that one might use to speak about a beautiful
and intoxicating (if not wholly faithful) lover. I will always remember
his
story about a day in Jacmel, when his face and body were completely
disguised
for the Carnival celebration. No one in the crowd that surrounded him
recognized him as a foreigner, and he told me that it was incredibly
powerful
to be completely welcomed and absorbed into the experience of Haiti if
only
for an afternoon.
Bless you, David. May you rest in a place where the colors are even
brighter
than your most dramatic watercolor paintings. May you remain filled with
your signature fiery vision. May you again feel completely welcomed into
the
experience of Haiti. And may the spirits cradle you in their arms.
