I felt very much the same way when the World Trade Center collapsed because New York City was a place I'd never been before but which I loved from afar. I didn't have a really serious job I loved at the time (phone reservations, remember?) and I wanted to help make things better.
I'm not specifically Christian anymore, but I know I'm thinking all the good thoughts I can about the people of Japan.
This, basically. With the exception that I never was Christian, but good vibes is good vibes. I've never actually been to or lived in Japan, but I still feel connected. And it's still heartbreaking to see all of this happening.
The last update I saw upgraded the quake to a 9.0, and seeing the devastation is just... I'm not even there, it's only photographs, but it's still just mind-numbing. I cannot conceive of that level of destruction and loss of life. It just doesn't compute. I can't imagine what somebody there must be experiencing.
I just hope that they get some time for peace and healing, be it from God, from Mother Earth... whoever or whatever higher power, I just hope they get some kind of relief, because no one, no one, deserves all that they've been through. And it's downright amazing and inspiring that they've endured this much with as much grace as they have.
