Today we're in shock and awe of another display by mother nature, this time in Haiti. This one sends a warning like a devil in the details of our lives. Especially here in Tokyo. To imagine that we're immune and that in such event of sheer devastation in Tokyo that I'll either be around to survive the aftermath or won't suffer the loss of friends and family is pure fantasy. I'd hate to echo the disturbing message of many, but this may be a nighmarish blessing in disguise for Haiti. Like the epic sweep of history ending, this is like a fierce renewal for a desparate people. And hope that whatever comes to pass will be better than what was there before. God bless all the souls that passed. If that weren't enough, Teddy too... sigh a tear
On another note. There seems to be several currents flowing through my life. Some are swift and treacherous. Others well known. They all ebb and flow, but aren't leading me anywhere. Like one oar I paddle in circles and wish I could find the stream to my personal satisfaction. But this current ebb I seem to circle in is a shallow pool of someone else's satisfaction, perhaps even desperation. Am I a bad person to want to row to the shore, upstream or float downstream away from despair. Or be happy that I have a boat at all and am not overboard treading water like the rest of them.
