My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of Southeast Asia, and to any nation and family that lost a loved one as a result of the tsunami. My hope is that the effects of such a tragedy can be minimized in the future by improvements in the warning system created by the International Tsunami Information Center (ITIC). My family is planning on making a donation to the International Red Cross and/or the Catholic Relief Fund, specifically earmarked for tsunami relief, and I urge anyone with the means to do the same.
God bless the souls lost in the waves; may angels carry them to paradise.
Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower,
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
- Robert Frost
