Just like that. And you’re gone.

What have the Tsunamis in South East Asia taught you?
It was the season ‘to be jolly’. Literally thousands upon thousands of tourists & locals were plunged deep in the festive season only to be taken in by a wave of a different kind.
News reports are now calling the devastation ‘unprecendented’. The numbers of those lost keep rising, every time one checks the news - sometimes are soon as every half hour.
And as the hours worked into days, and soon weeks, more will die. Out of starvation, disease, food poisoning. Individuals. Families. Villages. Destroyed. The entire geography of the world has changed due to this act of nature.
And yet… sadly, it’s sometimes easier to change the geography of the world than to change our mindsets.
