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.
