A silent prayer

I am not religious in any way. But it has been difficult for me, along with everyone else not to be touched by the Tsunami disaster on Boxing Day 2004. From our remote island of Great Britain such problems can only seem remote: or can they.

In our little way we were able to provide assistance to http://www.info-share.org who were in the thick of things in their home of Sri Lanka. Inside our closetted Groove world, I and other Groovers were able to find out, in real time what was happening on the ground, and indeed still is.

Throughout all that time I have struggled in vain to sum up the disaster. I have blogged very little on the subject because of this. The people who are able to express things most clearly are those who talk from first hand experience.

If you do nothing else read http://comment.cio.com/weighin/022805.html and consider the perspective of one person who speaks for himself and others on the front line.
