I work in media.

I am often the scapegoat of the world's troubles...

But troubles like those in Asia with the earthquakes and tsunami's are not my fault. And not yours.

They are a natural terror- and one enough to make me cry.

A loss. Terrible loss.

I listen now all day to audio clips of disaster- and feel thankful on one hand that my family and friends were not personally afflicted- yet guilt on the other knowing I'll sleep well tonight while millions of familes have literally had peace washed away.

Sad. Very sad.

I wish I were financially suited to go there and report on the human side- past the numbers and the financial ruin. Past the tourist who lived to tell the tale.

To the people- and the hurt.

I want to inspire change.

But instead- I report on the numbers. And the financial ruin. And the tourist who lived to tell the tale.

Maybe tonight I won't sleep so well afterall.

...

Wishing the world peace and unity- and hope some good comes from this.

I'm sure their will...

I know it.

I feel a heightened awareness in myself. This is good.

And I know I'm not alone.

Love.
