The news of Japan since the weekend have been surprisingly short on sympathetic words. Why? I am reminded of last Spring, when the focus was on the glossy British Petroleum graphics instead of the oiled sea turtles.  While our understanding of some catastrophes increasingly requires the appreciation of current technologies, this could never substitute for joining another’s grief.  So much is heard now about Japan, and too little about the Japanese, though a large number of people are grieving for their loved ones and facing the very real threat of high radiation exposures and the permanent loss of their homes and several cities.  In this context, the concern from some about the flow of radiation to the North-American west coast appears puerile at best.  Our Japanese brothers, sisters, and wildlife, you are in our hearts.  If no more can be said, this is because this tragedy leaves us without words.

A moving note of condolences to Japan from New Zealand is reproduced below.  The New Zealanders suffered an earthquake only a month ago.  They were helped by the Japanese and are now assisting the rescue efforts.
