caz963I haven't said anything about what's happening on the other side of the world because... well, what is there to say, really?
But one thought keeps coming back to me. No matter how far we go or how much we advance or achieve; space stations, micro-technology - just last week there was someting on the news about using three parents for IVF - there are some things that we're never going to be able to control. Not in my lifetime, anyway.
My heart goes out to all those who have lost their homes and their livelihoods, and to the families and friends of those who have lost their lives. I can't even begin to imagine what it must be like for them - just looking at the pictures on the news, the scale of the clean-up operation alone must be completely mind-boggling.
