So What Can Be Said?
Over 30,000 people dead so far. Death toll expected to rise. It's just SO BIG that the mind is boggled. Of course, the US media is filled with how Americans are affected, but that's not the story. The story is that a 9.0 rated earthquake has devastated 8 countries, killed thousands, thousands more missing, and thousands more injured and/or in danger of death due to contamination that always occurs when drinking water is poisoned by things that just should not be in it.
So what can we do? I found myself looking at the TV and thinking that nothing I did could possibly make a dent in the nightmare being suffered by fellow human beings. And I found myself feeling very small and very helpless; a tiny speck on the side of a massive gaping flaming hole called "need." But it's not true. We CAN do something. As each of us is a Star, each of us holds that power within them. We have the power to make it better. We can light candles to guide the lost souls who may not realize they have passed. We can send healing energies to those who are left behind, and those who are seeking the missing. Those who are able can send money to agencies like Unicef and Care. And yes, we can make a difference.
Those evil nasty drug companies are already donating millions of dollars worth of medicine and supplies that are being shipped out. US relief agencies are on the way. Governments around the world are donating money and supplies. Those who are able, are building coffins, large and small. Every little piece of the puzzle is greatly needed, and useful.
So please, don't feel that you're too small to make a difference. Our spiritual energies are a formidable force. Let's collect it in the same way we collect money and supplies, and let's send it to those in need.
