Fondly,
I remember your grace and nobility; even now when the world sees otherwise.
I remember your fortitude; even now when you are weary.
I remember your amity; more so now in the midst of adversity.
I remember you with gratitude; and I want you to know that I grieve with you.
My hands are empty; but I want you to know I am here for you.
Arigatō gozaimasu.

hi,
this leads us to humbly reflect that indeed we are all helpless in the mighty hands of our Creator (Deut 32:39) and that our only hope is our Lord who can keep us safe amidst this chaos, who can keep our hearts with hope amidst despair (Prov. 18:10)

hello.
must have been a memorable trip to express such empathy.
Recently, a 2nd nuke reactor just broke. There are thousands of families running out of food and water. What I highly appreciate of the Japanese, is that they still remain calm and and manage to smile…. the kind that reflects great hope in their hearts that they will soon get over this tragedy.

Haha. For Pete’s sake!
are you mocking me? (or perhaps yourself?)
For a stranger, you seem familiar.
Either I am right or I am right.
Or you choose to remain incognito.
Or you are simply a well-meaning blog walker who happen to pass by.
But then again, whether you mean well is something beyond me.
As to which one are you…is really between you and you.
Miss you too.
Konnichiwa Oni san.
