The Earthquake, Tsunami and Nuclear Crisis in Japan moved us all deeply.
Even if we are half a world away, the world is getting smaller and smaller, and it is clear to all that we are intertwined in a Planet where we all depend on each other.
From the blogs of two friends (Isabel and José António - mostly blogs in Portuguese, but also one in English, the blog http://newsletterfromlisbon.blogspot.com/ ) I asked permission to use some photos of Japan to illustrate this post. They were taken by Isabel some years ago.
I sincerely hope that the suffering in Japan will come to an end and that people all over will turn this sad event into an opportunity for cooperation, friendship and hope to build a better future.
Once and again, we praise the attitude and courage of the Japanese people, who's millennial wisdom tradition certainly has something to do with their discipline, spirit of self sacrifice and fortitude.
Let us all contribute to a better, more ethical and friendlier world.
Maria Carmo
Olá, Maria carmo
ResponderEliminarSem dúvida que todos nos emocionamos com os graves acontecimentos ocorridos no Japão.
É um facto digno de louvor a coragem com que o povo japonês encarou estas desgraças e está a tentar sobreviver com o máximo de dignidade.
Merecem, sem dúvida, o nosso respeito.
As imagens da Isabel são bonitas. Actualmente o aspecto deve ser bem diferente…
Bom post!
Boa semana.Beijinhos
Yes, Maria do Carmo, we are all Japanese these days. May God bless Japan and help those who are suffering.
ResponderEliminarHello Maria, how amazing I have found you again in the vast world of the internet! Do you remember we were all writing then suddenly we left our blogs behind like old skins! Now we are on the way to a new world I think, though one which is so difficult for humanity. It was a lovely surprise to see you at astrotabletalk today as I have been led by Robert to Dharmarucci too! He lives quite close to me in the south west of UK. Maybe you would like to visit me at

it is just chit-chat and nonsense with some astrology thrown in. I had to type this twice because I lost my connection! Mercury retrograde again! Blessings to you - I am so happy to find you again! Love Morvah
Hello Maria do Carmo, sad, very sad events in Japan What's worse, we see that disaster absolutely powerless to invade the land, take the homes and vehicles, carry diseases, ultimately, to shake terribly the life there. Unfortunately, our planet seems to me that is increasingly outraged by the human being and also increasingly show their sorrow for us. Let's hope that everything is tidy in there, and that brave people can fully recover from this disaster. Kiss, until other times.
