Quiet Thoughts

"Hope is the thing with feathers

That perches in the soul,

And sings the tune--without the words,

And never stops at all ..."

(from 'Hope' by Emily Dickinson)

Mother Nature stamped her feet again today.  The sheer power of Her temper unleashed is truly terrifying.  Hell hath no fury.   I'm sure we've all been horrified by the coverage of the 'quake and Tsunami in Japan.  If we should take a life lesson from this awful natural disaster it's to cherish what we have.

It goes without saying that my thoughts are with those people whose lives have been affected by this.
