It's so sad to think of events like this - the horror of the 2004 tsunami, the devastation in Haiti and Pakistan last year, the recent Brazilian floods and landslides, the flooding throughout eastern Australia, and of course, all the chronic disasters in countries that are culturally and physically more distant from our own, which rarely (if ever) make the news at all.
It's hard to know what to do in the short term, other than donate to the Red Cross or MSF. In the longer term, I guess it's important to be generous with our time and resources at any opportunity, not just in response to extraordinary events. I'm very much aware that the circumstances into which we are born are dictated entirely by chance, and every day I feel grateful for the prosperous life that I enjoy.
My heart goes out to those in need ...
... peace and love to you all.

nice Juddie
Thank you for your heartfelt words to the people of Japan, and a great posting.
yes, chance.
and goodwill, understanding, willingness and lesser greed by those mighty power rulers of the world, whom, on top of natural disaster, cause war and devestation.
arrghh, i'm having a bad monday start.
keep calm, carry on.
