A POST BY BETTA

M.'s sister was affected by the earthquake in Jawa. She telephoned her husband in Indonesia for news. He went over to check and her house is no longer where it was. M. goes back to Indonesia on 16 June. She's been with us for 7 years.

can it be? that the world still moves on for others, as it has stopped for thousands.

how can we? imagine the loss.

should we? just reach into our damned pockets for a dollar or two. help them rebuild the house. treat their sick.

what about the dead? there are so many of them.

God, You are an angry One.
