Thinking About Japan

In a time of drastic change 

one can be too preoccupied with what is ending or too obsessed with what seems to be beginning.

 In either case one loses touch with the present and with its obscure but dynamic possibilities. 

.

You do not need to know what is happening, or exactly where it is all going. 

What you need is to recognize the possibilities & challenges offered by the present moment, 

and embrace them with courage, faith & hope. 

In such an event, courage is the authentic form taken by love.
