It seems there are more and more people in terrible situations. \u00a0 I recently listened to some people who had lived in, survived and then worked through the tsunami in Japan. \u00a0Some of my friends were evacuated from their homes in Austin Texas. \u00a0I see reports of earthquakes, wars, famines, hurricanes and financial unrest.<\/p>\n
I as I have watched and spoken with friends over the past couple of years I see sickness, death, cancer,\u00a0bankruptcies, divorce and much of suffering. \u00a0Maybe I notice because of my situation. \u00a0I feel powerless to help. \u00a0Sometimes I try, sometimes I think I will attempt but shrink away. \u00a0Sometimes I try to help and am pushed away.<\/p>\n
I wish I could give these people peace. I wish I could find more peace in my life.<\/p>\n
