I love to write within my own. Yet there comes a time where you do have a regard others. Right now Japan for me is on top of my list. We come back to this old saying of, " I thought I had it bad when I had no shoes until I meet a man with no feet". This probably is not the perfect saying within a Zen based manner yet it does apply. I have done my part, no I have not entirely as I like some of you am very concerned with human life. Japan could be the Canada, USA, Australia and several countries. We all make mistakes within our countries there is no blame as to whom is right nor wrong. What is paramount right now is the lives of human beings. It's nice that we all live within a comfort of some manner yet there is a time where if either you or I were within a situation of paramount disaster. We would render over and beyond ourselves. As life is life and so easily we can say that we have done something - but this is one I think that we all look and perhaps right now the Red Cross is the best option. It's just my own thoughts...Who does and who does rise to the occassion I often ponder in times such as this. Sincerely Jack It's easy to take the "blind eye". I don't now have it. Nor hopefully shall you. And by the way this is not a advertisement. It's a message that perhaps that some other human beings might realize. And spare a little change. I have never in my life done circulars on a blog. I do believe in it right now. I will post the link but I believe that that if everyone takes that time as I did and many did within Katrina. This is much larger and I think that a mere donation of any means. Would mean much right now it seems that as stated that the Red Cross is the best route. Apologies as I have sent this to everyone on my settings...
