Crumbling the sweet, friable earth in the hand, and knowing that each minute more and more of that pure soil is being corrupted and poisoned by radiation in Japan. Again, the greed and hubris and now the evasions and half truths as after Chernobyl.
Poison that will never die or fade and for which there is no cure, no healing, no antidote. An uncontrollable hell let loose once more.
Earth, growth, crops tainted with this now.
And the children; affected from the start. And a "generation yet unborn" maimed before birth. Not born to learn of the love and ways of God but of sickness and deformity, caused by man.
Yes we have Sisters there; deep in the thick of trying to get food and water to the thousands lost now. Such a polite people. Orderly and courteous. Remembering the bus full who stopped by our stall last year and the tiny origami box they left. We still have that .
And we are not helpless; not any of us who live in this world. Each can act and give and work to feed and clothe and comfort and help. if you want to help us to do that, please email on anchoress cj at yahoo dot com.
Here, always the markets, the making and trading. Hoping in this new place for a good summer of selling our fair wares.
One child, one baby, one person at a time..
Blessings and peace
