Close to Japan

Hi - been getting a few e-mails lately checking in to see how we are because we are so close to Japan. We found out about the earthquake and tsunami while we were having dinner at a local restaurant. The TV was on and the images were terrifying. It is strange to be so close and have no major effects on our life. Really we didn't feel anything and although we are scared by the possible radiation exposures here, right now the wind is simply blowing the other way.

Watching video of the effects on Santa Cruz was also strange as it is so far away and yet seemed to be more impacted than we are here.

There is however the emotional impact - my heart hurts for all the people of Japan. It is so scary to see all the destruction - to wonder how it can possibly all be cleaned up. There is so much mystery and fear about the nuclear power plants. Are we being told all there is to tell? All I can really do is breathe, hope and be thankful for every day.

Sending love to all - may all beings be at peace.
