I read those astounding facts, look at the pictures and videos, listen to nuclear experts but can hardly comprehend because of sadness in seeing this terrible harm done to such a beautiful place on our planet: earthquake, then tsunami, now nuclear worries.

Take care, Japan and all beings that call you home.

Out of the many, many images I've seen of this enornous disaster, this one reminded me that higher consciousness, essential nature, or, one might call it pure potentiality, can never be  destroyed.  Nat S.
