grace in devastation...

http://caffertyfile.blogs.cnn.com/2011/03/15/why-is-there-no-looting-in-japan?/htp=T1

facing complete devastation with dignity and grace, the japanese people are waiting patiently in long lines...there is no looting...no rioting...they are banding together to make it through this crisis...

thinking about past and lesser disasters here in this country, where our poorest are richer than some of the richest in other parts of our world...we have not responded so well...we who have the most, complain the loudest when we think our "rights" are being threatened...

today, i am looking at the japanese people and i am challenged to learn more of contentment...to learn more of kindness...and i am grateful...
