No words seem adequate in the face of so much loss and grief. Nonetheless All those hearts no longer beating, a different kind of tsunami, silence rushing into every broken place

Thousand winds that blow. Diamond glints on snow. Sunlight on ripened grain. Gentle morning rain. Awaken in the morning's hush, Swift uplifting rush Quiet birds in circled flight. Soft stars soon shine at night. Stand at graves and cried; Not there, not died People all over Japan bowed their heads in silence . Like the handshake, the bow convey here a salutation, a farewell, or an expression of thanks and gratitude as well as grieve Let us breath in while bending forward, exhale when at the lowest part of the bow,inhales once more returning to our initial posture allowing the back to stretch naturally. The head motions in a smooth arc visually pleasing and sincere An open sky above my head is all but still, A vacancy hushes the voices scrambling in my mind Gazing into the mist, silk entwines my body.
