Mother Nature has really taken her fury out on this corner of the world in the past month with the Myanmar cyclone and the Sichuan earthquake. Let's hope She is not triangulating...The images in the local press of China’s earthquake and Myanmar’s cyclone are heart-wrenching beyond imagination. I can’t and wouldn’t attempt to describe to the cover photo of quake recovery efforts on today’s South China Morning Post. Sad beyond words and the news gets worse by the hour. It’s wild for me to consider how close in proximity the city of Hong Kong is to both of these disaster zones where the loss of life has been so massive. The distance between HK and either/both of these cataclysms is just a 90-minute shuttle ride away. No longer is this the type of thing I read about occurring half a world away.
