I am on vacation. Like a lot of people, I woke up yesterday morning to see the horrific Images of the tsunami and earthquake devastating Japan. I learned of the explosion and potential meltdown of a Japanese nuclear power plant because there was not enough water to cool the reactor and 1000 s of people were being evacuated, some already exposed to radiation, and the situation today is no less dangerous, Perhaps more so.
From another part of the world, Saudi Arabia and Libya, came scary news of civilians being slaughtered by their ” leaders” and the real possibility of disruption of oil supplies with grave consequences globally.
I was sitting in a swimming pool feeling hopeless, that my world was spinning out of control. I saw a bee that had fallen into the water, struggling. I scooped it up with a handful of water and managed to move it to the sand outside the pool. I watched it stagger around, then begin to dry off it’s wings and, at last, fly away.
It made me feel better.
