Old Age Day by Day March 11, 2011

When I returned from a dog walk with a friend, I was devastated to learn of the Japanese earthquake. It's terrifying and disturbing. It seems like we were just seeing the videos of the New Zealand earthquake, and now this one. Here on the west coast we worry constantly about quakes, and at the magnitude of the Japanese one, we can't even imagine if or how we would survive. We are shaken here, and our hearts are broken yet again, for the people and beings deeply affected. I'm grateful my Buddhist study group meets here tomorrow to share in prayers and the sorrow.
