I feel foolish prattling about my voyage to come when so many are suffering so. Reminds me of feeling too guilty to go to Broadway shows for years after 9/11. I suppose disasters and devastation paralleled our lives, but it wasn't in-your-face really until the Vietnam body count appeared in the living room on our family's black and white TV.
Now the omnipresence of late-breaking news through the Internet has made tranquility a difficult state to achieve. And so we write to friends we know who are connected to Japan, New Zealand and elsewhere, send a contribution through the Red Cross and give some thought to how precious are our lives.
