This letter is so lovely, and beats all the prosaic articles we've been reading in the papers I've been constantly checking my Iphone to see if there is an update on the nuclear situation- its all so sad. I've hoped we've learnt a lesson to stop building nuclear stations finally.Sound Horn Pleasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06379641453411859919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-86604962225114686502011-03-19T13:23:13.817-07:002011-03-19T13:23:13.817-07:00Thanks for sharing this, Kamini!

I have read in very many books and also always felt in life that "the contours of our virtues are shaped by our sufferings." Suffering, they say, is intended to turn "steel into artistry" and not turn one insipid. I firmly believe so and my belief was enforced all the more when I read this post.

I hope and pray they come out of this disaster soon.

A small donation and lots of prayers is all that I can contribute. I feel so helpless, sad and scared and wish I could do more. The people of Japan are a true inspiration and we all can learn a lot from them.My Dream Canvashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15278665643505830160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8286717835195834907.post-36120123443762762342011-03-18T10:54:59.946-07:002011-03-18T10:54:59.946-07:00As humans were intended to be, what we should all ...As humans were intended to be, what we should all aspire toward.
