[413] A lot of prayers - 2007/07/18 (Wed)

Humans are powerless against nature, aren't they...
If there is a god in this world,
it's probably nature.

In ancient times, Japan believed in the existance of gods as part of nature,
called the Myriad Gods (the yaorozu no kami),
and it was a nation of faith in nature.

The people of ancient times felt powerless against nature, too...
That's probably why they worshipped and made offerings to it as a god.

However, humans have been battling disaster since long ago.
No matter how many times they're knocked down by nature,
each time, people band together and rebuild.

Let's all do as much as we can, together.
Everyone's prayers can reach to the heavens...

Now let's hope for even one day of rest for everyone in the disaster areas.

P.S. If their hearts were healed even just a little, that would be wonderful.


[ yes, people. i know some of you are in japan. take it as easy as you can, and try not to get yourself killed in an earthquake. seriously... ]
