Reporters and rescue workers from countries around the world assisting in the Japan rescue efforts, are amazed how calmly the people of Japan are enduring such a horrific crisis. They noted there is no looting or blatant displays of public anger like we have seen in other countries struck by earthquakes and disasters, including the US. Japanese store owners are giving away their supplies. People are quietly helping one another sharing their last morsels of food with strangers.
Sister Janet, I really enjoyed reading your blog and the concept of mindfulness. It so refreshing to know that we can be conscious of the subconcious and our feelings/emotions inorder to respond appropriately. On reading an article today regarding the Japanese people's acts of kindness, I was so touched to read of their generosity and unselfishness in times of great disaster. May they know God's peace in their time of need.
