How do you describe the devastation and the tragedy of a natural catastrophe. A day hasn't gone by since Feb 22 when I haven't checked TVNZ updates and bulletins. I have only spoken to my niece Renee and have had news via FB and my sister in the North Island. I know they are safe, I know they are together. Their lives will never be the same again. They have the arduous task of rebuilding their city and their lives. I know my countrymen are made of strong stuff but it is still heartwrenching and agonising.
There are natural disasters all over the planet, all the time. This one feels personal. I feel compassion for all living beings but this disaster has penetrated to the deepest parts of me.
