Natural disasters remind us of love

Christchurch city was struck by a 7.1 earthquake at 4.35 am this morning. My husband and I would have been there if we hadn't decided to drive down this morning instead. I have spoken to loved ones in Christchurch, and the shock is so evident in their voices. Damage is widespread but thank God, no loss of life.

It shows me that the Earth changes are real; they're happening to us and our loved ones. And what I have learned is not new - when disaster strikes, love is all that matters. We want to protect our loved ones, hear that they are okay.

In the future, humanity will not need natural disasters as reminders of the importance of love. Meanwhile today my heart goes out to all souls in Christchurch.
