" When we look at the world around us, particularly as portrayed in the media, many of us feel a sense of helplessness at our perceived inability to effect change. if you don’t make the attempt to effect the change you wish to see, by living it, speaking it, exemplifying it (making that initial imperceptible effect), it is guaranteed that the “event” will not occur, at least as a result of your efforts (or lack thereof). Individuals can make change, significant to profound change, by making the decision to "Act" and not just sitting around for somebody else to do something first."

I had two synchronicities today Giovonni, both were helping other people. I was humbled by that experience. For me its right if its for others.
It is lack of love for ourselves that inhibits our compassion toward others. If we make friends with ourselves, then there is no obstacle to opening our hearts and minds to others.
Here's wonderful example of this lesson from a talented blossoming young spirit!

Rhema is beautifull Gio.. An angel is walking amongst us
Forgiving is love's toughest work, and love's biggest risk. If you twist it into something it was never meant to be, it can make you a doormat or an insufferable manipulator. Forgiving seems almost unnatural. Our sense of fairness tells us people should pay for the wrong they do. But forgiving is love's power to break nature's rule...He who cannot forgive breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass.
i very seldom have visions...but i told many friends...recently and even several months ago...that these plates would react in this manner...and i sense in the near the future...this will occur again and again on and around the NH Pacific Rim.
Latest Temblor An Interplate Quake: Meteorological Agency
Saturday, March 12, 2011
TOKYO (Nikkei)--The major earthquake that struck northeastern Japan on Friday had the hallmarks of an interplate quake, which occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates.
At the area near the epicenter, the North American plate, on which part of the Japanese archipelago lies, slips under the Pacific plate. The temblor was likely triggered when the North American plate snapped upward, releasing the accumulated strain.
The earthquake occurred near the site of another tremor that shook Miyagi Prefecture on Wednesday, so the earlier quake may have been a foreshock, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
"There aren't many instances in which such a large earthquake occurs right after a magnitude 7-class quake," said an official at the agency. "This is a highly unusual case."
The agency warns that aftershocks registering around magnitude 7 could take place over the next month.
Major quakes have occurred off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture about every 40 years, the previous being a magnitude 7.4 temblor in 1978. Government experts had expected that one registering between 7.5 and 8 would hit, but the latest packed a wallop of magnitude 8.8.
The plate may have shifted over a stretch of several hundred kilometers along the fault on Friday, according to the agency, with some experts putting the figure at upwards of 400-500km.
"In last year's magnitude 8.8 earthquake in Chile, the fault is said to have moved over a span of about 800km, so the latest quake may be similar," said Kyoto University Professor Manabu Hashimoto.
Friday's interplate earthquake is different from the Great Hanshin Earthquake that rocked the Kobe area in 1995, which was an intraplate quake.
Here is a lovely song well remembered from my youth ~ and now, the words even more heart wrenching ~ our hearts ache for the people of Japan, even as we are awed by their reserve, their perseverance, their justifiable pride ~ i pray this horrible winter will pass, and hopefully Japan will rebuild their country ~ even as they mourn the loss of so many loved relatives and friends.
The Japanese never had their version of Elvis Presley or the Beatles but they did have an individual named, Sakamoto Kyu. An individual who has accomplished something big that no other Japanese has been able to accomplish. That is a #1 song (four weeks in Cashbox Magazine and three weeks in Billboard magazine) in it's native language in America and also to receive a "Gold Record" for selling one million copies. The song that helped propel Sakamoto was a song called "Ue o Muite Aruko" (I'll walk with my head up) known to many of you as "Sukiyaki". The song was not understood but it's catchy, upbeat tune was enough for American and fans in other countries to enjoy it. The song has been translated and re-done in many countries in their own language and it would seem this song would never be forgotten. In August 7, 1985, Sakamoto wanted to regroup with his fellow band members and make a comeback. Five days letter, Sakamoto was in a JAL Jumbo bound for Osaka which crashed into a mountain (which was the biggest disaster in Japanese Aviation History).
