Pic from the webWhat words can describe the tragedy that has befallen thousands of people in Sichuan, the quake-torn part of China?
Apparently, as this blog is being posted, sixty thousand are still trapped in the debris, many of whom are schoolchildren. What terror would they have faced when the stillness of their daily life was shattered by a rumbling, darkening, blistering Earth? Many who are still alive and caught in between the earth's folds can only hope for quick rescue operations.
Nature by Herself is serene, beautiful. Perhaps that was what a few tourists and Panda watchers had hoped to find, when they landed in Sichuan. Not for a moment would they have ever imagined what Fate had in store for them.
Let us pray for Peace for the departed souls and Hope for those who are still struggling within a dark mass of mud, debris, rubble, rotting flesh. What agonizing moments, anticipating a dark, dank death! Silent prayers, muffled cries, soulful calls for help.
Living and Dying- are like two sides of a coin. While one side is a mystery, we are in the cozy comfort of the other side. But let's not slip into a familiar lethargy and leave this world with no meritorious tasks to our credit. For when the coin finally flips, it doesn't wait mid-way...
