Hope.....another miracle needed....

Hope - flowers that blossoms in the darkest night
It has been unimaginable and unthinkable two days - I was glued to NHK, Japanese news channel and totally stressed out. I think I drank 8 cups of french press coffee yesterday just to keep going. I get very sleepy when I am stressed out. According to the news, this earthquake moved the earth by 4 inches on its axis. In Japan, the whole country was moved by 8 feet....! Now the earthquake was upgraded to 9 magnitude.

Many lives were lost - homes, buildings, and all belongings were gone. One lady on TV was saying that "I lost my husband, my daughter, my house, and everything - only thing left is me, and I am not sure now that this is a good thing." The prime minister said that this is the worst disaster since WWII".

I believe in the people who came back from the WWII, the darkest moment in the history of Japan- when Tokyo was burnt down entirely, two cities were destroyed with atomic bombs. They came back and built the second largest economy. 
 Like the flower that can blossom in darkness, I hope that the world will see another miracle from the far east again.


May God bless Japan..


PS I am praying that all my dear friends in Japan are safe....I hope to hear from them soon.
