It’s been a few days, I know, but I can’t help but be overwhelmed by the earthquake in the Indan Ocean on Boxing Day. The Great Mother provides so much for us, but nature is raw and dangerous. 9/11 was the worst disaster to ever hit the United States in terms of lives lost and national impact. It was perpetrated by a handful of men bent on the greatest destruction they could.

An earthquake, brought by natural processes, killed more in an hour than dedicated terrorists could with years of preparation and work. The property damage alone is unthinkable.

Please go to The Red Cross and select their International Response Fund, and donate some cash. There are folks in these regions who can get by in their regular job and eat and live for $1 a day. Donate what you can, where you can, and maybe we can make a dent.

By the way, in case you want to donate to a different organization, here is a link to one blogger’s research into where you can donate.
