Reflecting on today's news

Blue skies, daffodils, blossom on the trees, sunshine warm on my face – starting the day embracing the beautiful, serene side of Nature. Turn on the TV – buildings shaking, debris falling, houses and cars swept away by the sheer force of a tsunami, pavements torn apart by the force of an earthquake and suddenly I see just how frighteningly powerful a force Nature really is. The horror of the TV images is nothing in comparison to how terrifying the reality must be. My thoughts and prayers go out to those who have been affected by earthquakes and tsunamis in recent weeks.
