Japanese Earthquake March 2011
Enlighten a candle for Japan
"After the earthquake, it became a power failure.
The dark not to understand when to end.
Light that lights up by a little battery.
Candle that aromatic substance smells.
I occurred to one...... doll of small chicken.
I put the doll near the candle.
My mind was healed by the doll's loveliness."
This is a forwarded translated text with a photo from a japanese woman living in the city of Aomori, from a japanese friend dated March 14, 2011.
At friday morning march 11, 2011 I heard about a big
earthquake in Japan
and since then messages about new disasters in Japan arrive here and in
the world.
The aftershocks,
the Tsunami and now the
nuclear danger .
I am so frightened and sad about those horrible catastophes which
happen to the japanese nation.
But this is
probably nothing in comparison of the feelings all the japanese
relevant people
have.
An unthinkable number of people lost their lifes, are missing, are
injured ,
lost
their beloved ones, lost their homes, lost their existence,
have no electricy
and/or water at their homes.
I want to
express my condolences to the japanese people who lost their beloved
ones
through this horrible catastrophe.
In my thoughts I am always with all the brave
japanese adults and children,
who have to deal
with the circumstances which happen
now in their country and in their lifes.
I was moved to tears when I read the message and saw the photo from
that courageous woman of Aomori.
She did not lost her hope and tried to give
her mind a bit of healing through the candle and the little chicken.
I also
lightened up a candle instandly and I will put it in my window every evening
when it
is dark outside,
as sign that the hope will always enlighten ones sad mind
as well as I and the worldwide community feel with the
japanese people in those hard days.
I hope and pray that the disaster will end
shortly and that all my japanese friends
could get back healthy and well in
their
normal lifes.
