You beautifully captured the sadness and helplessness so many of us are feeling.<br /><br />There was a children's show here in America that was led by this quiet thoughtful man named Mr. Rogers. After 9/11, someone asked him, how do you explain such tragedy to small children? He said: <br /><br />"Look for the people who are doing good. Look for the helpers."<br /><br />And I look for the good. Looking for those who are helping, look for what this tragedy will show the world.<br /><br />People like you, Cait who are reminding us of what matters in this life, and how we need to care for each other.<br /><br />Peace, friend.Marion Williams-Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741729110133561984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-29599005191295489032011-03-15T09:02:01.653-07:002011-03-15T09:02:01.653-07:00Well said Cait.We must live here and now cause her...Well said Cait.We must live here and now cause here and now is all we have really. I feel bad for feeling grateful that I live in a country that won't get earthquakes. There are not the words to talk about what the Japenese people are going through.<br /> As for James Naughtie he is just annoying. His voice is full of pious syrup and I want to slap him.Fire Byrdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477692359400671374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-1141725323012738672011-03-15T08:32:33.020-07:002011-03-15T08:32:33.020-07:00I have never seen a tragedy as overwhelming as thi...I have never seen a tragedy as overwhelming as this one. The video and photographs are simply nauseating and I haven't the words to describe how they make me feel.

A welcome rest to the eyes and the heart. Like you, and so many of us, the ongoing news from Japan is consuming much of my thoughts. We seem to be lurching from one disaster to the next at the moment; I hope that something good will come out of the wreckage. Certainly we are all too materialistic; but saying that and believing it, I also feel intensely grateful for my warm and comfortable home!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02375981493145612394noreply@blogger.com
