A candle for Japan

Postby wolf560 » 12 Mar 2011, 07:07

It seems too little and too late, but I am lighting a candle none-the-less.
I will be looking into how to contribute to the Red Cross and UN tomorrow.

it is truly awful. I can only echo your words.

It was almost unbelievable seeing the Tumani sweeping into Japan and seeing huge structures swepted away. my thoughts go out to all the survivors and those who are in transition to the otherworld.

The nuclear power stations were very vunerable - surely their is an alternative = I saw a report that there was one leak of radiation.

With reiki blessing and love to the people of Japan.

If you are donating in the USA, make sure you donate to the Local Red Cross Office in person. Many of the Red Cross links have turned out to be fake. :roll:

Here's a SWAT for the con-artists :knight:

And this is for Japan :candle: :candle: :candle:

I have a candle burning on my table tonight. I have such heartbreaking sadness for all those who have lost their lives, for all those that have lost their loved ones. And finally for our planet which is screaming in pain.

Wolf, thank you very much for starting this thread. A candle burns constantly on my altar.
My son went to Japan in 2007 as part of his job as a geologist. He said people there were extremely kind to him, going out of their way to help him.
Let's all express our solidarity to them by sending healing energy.
