Tornado in Tsukuba

Re: Tornado in Tsukuba

So, I asked the guy what he had learned from the experience.

He said something like, "Well, try to watch where you are walking."

A most beautiful and profound answer! _/_

Dear Jundo,

Thank you for the update. I guess I speak for all here, we are grateful you and your family are okay.

We sit for the ones who are suffering today and please let us know if we can donate to the Red Cross or some local charity to help rebuild the lost homes.

Dear All,

We are fine, thank you for your concern. The power came back on about an hour ago. We saw the Tornado funnel cloud pass almost right over our heads, and it did touch down in our neighborhood, about 5 minutes by car from here. A lovely old part of town with ancient houses was destroyed, a boy killed. We sit for them. Many of those people had just recovered from the earthquake last year.

I am from Florida, so rather used to such news. I do chalk it up to life, fate, Karma. However, if I ever do have a chance to meet God face-to-face, I will be sure to tell him that I think he did a wonderful job in engineering this planet ,,, but it would have been oh so nicer without tornadoes, earthquakes and a few other things.

Yes, beautiful.

Glad you are all okay. This evening, I will sit with those suffering, especially the parents of the child who died.

Re: Tornado in Tsukuba

In my prayers Jundo.

It seems as though Mother Earth is really POed of late. Well, it's not like we haven't been warned over the years. Selfishness and greed has to take its toll.

Peace. Om. Shanti. Metta. Amen...whatever it takes, I will do.

Tornadoes of thought..... how well put. They can cut swaths of destruction as profound as natural storms.

I am glad you and your family are safe Jundo. Metta to all whose lives are devastated by storms of nature and the mind.

A deep bow
