How tragic for the families of the victims of the quake, knowing that a scientist in the town warned of the danger but was dismissed as a scaremonger.
Across the road from where I am is a patriotic sign on the door, the American flag and the yellow ribbon for the soldiers in the Middle East. I wonder, do they wait for someone to come home?
All along the road you pass signs reminding us that Jesus is alive. But it is humans who are faulty, greedy, power hungry.
What do we need, other than shelter and food? All else is luxury. People, not things, are what matter most.
“He aha te mea nui o tenei ao? Maku e kii atu, He tangata, he tangata, he tangata!
You ask what is the most important thing in this world? I will tell you: It is people, it is people, it is people!
(Maori proverb)”
Today I am grateful for the communication that tells me that Italian friends are safe and well.
