I can't get around this gargantuan tragedy that is unfolding. Does anything else matter at this point? I'm finding it difficult to really take anything else seriously in my daily life... I can't escape the feeling that this is in fact so much bigger than anyone is yet willing to admit - beyond even the seemingly immeasurable loss of life so far - big in a way that will ultimately have to ripple throughout society in ways we can't yet predict - disease, economic turbulence, massive emigration and refugee populations on one end, increased neocon militarism and repression on the other... And here's the kicker: I promise you somebody somewhere has already figured out a way to profit from the whole thing. I want to believe that natural disasters might unify the human family, reorder our priorities along more humanistic lines, but I'm frankly not seeing it. Another sudden outbreak of genocide seems more likely at this time.
bummed. waiting to snap out of it and find a positive perpective.
---geez, even that feels selfish

some things are jus too much y'know..
it almost doesnt seem real. even lives back home don't seem real right now because of the sudden dramatic effect of this unexpected thing..
ive a friend over there travelling and im not sure whether she's moved onto the next place or what.. even thinking about it gives me goose pimples.. i can't deal with it..
sorry not much help..
there's nothing we can really say. quicker than a war.. killing people... and nothing we can do to prevent the emotions all of us, even if we know no one out there or no one waiting to hear from anyone, or even those who have lost..
one picture which got me was that of a decrased hut, left standing and a hand laying palm up with a little wrist showing, hanging out of the hut. im not sure ill ever erase that form my mind.
sorry to go on a little
I wish I could help you find a better perspective, but we're just going to have to give it time.
