The Japan Earthquake

I have to take this space to write about the recent earthquake in Japan because I know that it is on our minds right now as we look at the images of total devastation, hear about the growing numbers of victims, consider that this could happen to anyone and even feel a twinge of guilt that we can go about our daily lives in the same way today as we did on Friday. Nothing has changed for many of us but everything has changed for them. Are we just lucky or is our turn coming soon?

A few weeks ago I said on the radio show that I awoke one morning with the Johnny Cash song, 'Ring of Fire' playing in my head. That was just before the Christchurch earthquake. Now we have this one, there was another in Chile this weekend and there will be more. Is this the end of the world and will it be taken apart a little piece at a time? Attention has now turned from the earthquake and tsunami to the threat of a nuclear meltdown in Japan's nuclear power plants. Given the recent revival in the use of this as a power source, we are being asked to pause and consider the future results of these choices and make different decisions.

Can we do anything to prevent this and why are some people spared while others become victims of disaster? In reality, no one is spared because whether it is our homes that are destroyed or we are watching it on TV, we are all part of what happens to others. My heart breaks for the victims and their families as much as if they were my own family because they are. I have cried over and prayed for Japan these past few days, as have many others. This is what we can do for them and while it feels like so little it is really a lot.

I have mentioned compassion vortexes many times and they are openings for us to reconnect and remember ourselves as a human family, to remind us that we are all one, from a single Source and all part of each other. When this kind of event happens, we are further reminded to love one another, to have compassion, to be mindful that life is precious, our earthly home is a sentient being that we must love, honor and protect, that we are most powerful when our hearts beat as one than we can ever be when we use our live in competition with each other.
