Over 121,000 lives literally wiped off the face of the Earth in a terrible wall of water risen beyond it's boundaries.
The terrible tragedy wrought by the Indian Ocean quake and resulting tsunami, has us all shaking our heads and asking and wondering "What can I do?"
You can and should pray, for all those lost and the ones left behind.
You can and should go to websites like this one at Care2.com, to donate as much money as you can afford, as often as you can afford to do so, to one or more of the reputable organizations bringing aid to the effected lands.
You can and should take in the personal stories of people near and far who have been personally affected by this tragedy and offer whatever comfort you can.
Most of all you can refuse to see only horror and despair...
You can use the great and awesome Gift of your Genius, your Love, your Hopeful Compassion for all Life to envision Good arising out of this time of emense sorrow.
And you can declare your Visions for a positive, newly unified future to the YOUniverse by sharing them Here!
Yes, give your money. Yes, join or support volunteers going to the
effected lands. And yes, yes, Yes, pray, cry and let your soul sing big
dreams of the Beauty we can all grow out of these fields of pain by
playing games of What If.
What if the eternal Lights of all those, young and old, who's lives on
Earth were ended by this tragedy, are still, right now and forever with
us; guiding their loved ones and all humanity to a new understanding of
ourselves...
What if because of the relentless enormity of our collective compassionate actions, one day people look back on the times we're living now as the beginning of the end of all war...
What if the experience of seeing and feeling the pain of grieving parents and children in what had before Sun, December 26th, been one of our major centers for child labor and sex trafficking...If grieving for them as if they were our own, finally convinces us all to do whatever it takes to put an end to the practice of allowing children anywhere to be treated different from those we call our own...
What if...

Dear Ones:
I am not a regular contributer here and I apologize for receiving daily from the wonderful messsages and getting caught up in my own busyness.
Within a business group of mine we were directed to a site called http://mercycorp.org
They do wonderful work, and not only in times of disaster.
I had not made the connection between the Tsunami and the traffiking. I appreciate that being brought to my attention.
About 10 years ago, some psychics I know predicted through chanelling that there would be a major shift in Tuetonic plates and where the firering is located. I am thinking that the Tsunami may have been what was being predicted.
Funny, how it is so easy to file that away, and then how quickly it comes to mind when something shows up.
Have a blessed day and renew the earth by following your own path and being your most magnificent self.
Blessings-
Pat

I'm giving small financial donations to Mother Ammachi's Ashram in Sri Lanka as I trust her work. I would also like to set up a non-profit for the women of many indigenous areas to sell their crafts and give them the opportunity to share their teachings directly to people in more technologically developed countries for FAIR fees to give them an opportunity to rebuild on their own terms without government and religious interference(sp). Peace, Liaya

Wow, Thank you for being so wise, deep and loving.
I am blessed to read these words, and have my heart touched.
And Shelagh, your words touched me... and I respond:
What if WE, each one of us, transformed our lives, stopped resisting and in soaring we doubled our income and sent half to others.
I am so touched by the thought: £50 builds a house and gives a family of 4 food.
Awesome.
Thanks Nut :-)

"What is life?
It is the flash of a firefly in the night. It is the breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the shadow which runs across the grass and loses itself in the Sunset".
These words from Crowfoot in 1890, remind me that we have nothing to fear and everything to be thankful for.
