If only I could reach out ...across the seas offer shelter or a warm hug a shoulder to cry on, to let you cry out the pain we would both gain a precious love moment, the essence of humanity In my heart I reach out to you in spirit and thought through all the horrid waves of unreality the crescendo of tragedy the cacophony of such unbelievably great loss for all those who survived the quake and tsunami, only to see their loved ones swept away by angry waves of Mother Nature’s instant wrath... I offer my heartfelt sympathies and hope, that somehow, you shall survive the rage, the pain and agony that must accompany the reality of being the survivor. namaste, peace may the final journey of the thousands that were swept away end up in a more peaceful place |

Blessed Be. Wow, that was a wonderful read. I think that I will have to save this piece. It brought a tear to my eye. Thank you so much. Love, Ladycat Namaste Insanity in individuals is something rare but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.-Friedrich Nietzsche |

These words represent the best feature of humankind, and that is compassion... Nature does not care if we are happy or sad, if it kills us it has no remorse.. If our bodies are in the way of its laws it will destroy us... What has to happen now is that we compasionet ones must help those that were devestated by being in the way of one of its outbursts... This poem calls us to do so, it is a plea to humanity...and that is why it is so good... manaste...ford |

I felt the slight tugging start just in reading this title..... and I knew.... and I read it... and I cried... this is the exact reason why your words always move me. One is honored when they can call you friend Kacy. I am indeed honored to know you gal... |

thanks dear friends, for taking time to read and reply I'm sure we all suffered a skipped heartbeat upon hearing about this tragic event all those people, swept away so suddenly, with not much more than a heartbeat's notice of the danger |
