On the day of the Japanese earthquake, 3-11-11, we had a vase full of tulips sitting on top of the piano. A loud, rumbling truck idled in front of our house while waiting for the traffic light to change. The vibration knocked a petal off and the beauty and comparison of the fragility of life cut deep. I saw the world as a bouquet of countries and Japan just had a piece of itself die.
In response to the quake I feel, "Watashi no kokoro wa zutazuta desu." My heart is broken or is in tatters.
On the other hand, friends know just the right thing to do or say to make things better. God's Minion just sent this photo to us from the Bahamas. In case you can't read the sand writing it says, "Love you Cindia and Don." From one end of the globe to the other, love really does make the world go 'round.
Love makes the world go 'round.
