I can't get over these pictures.
Earthquake, tsunami, nuclear explosion... The devastation in Japan is so total. It's hard to remember that what I'm looking at is an photograph of real events and not just a screenshot from a movie. The scariest thing to me is how unbelievable it is. It's easy to go about my day and assume that the things I own or the life I live is permanent. I guess that's why it's hard to look at these pictures. It's a reminder that everything I think is just a given- food, shelter, clean water... life- can really all disappear in an instant.
I'm praying for those affected in Japan but I'm also praying that those of us who have never experienced loss like this remember that there is nothing we can do in our own power to avoid it. And that's really humbling.
