i take a moment
just to be
silent...
japan
victims of this
horrific disaster
for hawaii
and all who have been
affected by the earthquake & tsunami
in just a moment
lives were changed
a train filled
with travelers just disappeared
boats swept away
a wall of water rose up
imagine
the fear & disbelief
wreckage & pain
a warning for the
west coast, of all of the pacific
i pause this morning
thinking of all
affected today
being thankful for my many gifts
because truly
there are many
oh yes, friday
you are loved
help me to not grow complacent
to remember others
on this friday
may you feel
joy & be blessed

so much disaster in so many places. "You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and EARTHQUAKES in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains"
We are in labor, friends.
Terrible terrible tragedy. Can't imagine the horror of it.
Silence, a time to reflect and pray.
A beautifully worded tribute.
These are powerful words. Thanks for putting this "out there."
So well said. Thanks for these sharing these thoughts.
Beautiful and wise. :)

What a thoughtful post and a wonderful reminder for all of us to pray for the people of Japan and to be grateful for the blessings we have.
Thanks for stopping by, I have been very busy lately with, school, family and everything in between. I somehow make time to keep up with everyone else's posts, just leave my own as the last on my to-do list. Beautiful post...I love reading your words.
