Isn't it odd to think that in the past week approx. 75,000 people died as a result of natural forces?
That in one fell swoop so many souls left the organised chaos known as earth? Heart-rending: the many children.
My thoughts are with them.

I find it even more astounding that the general public in Belgium has paid more attention to the sudden death of football player Francois Sterchele who died in a car accident (presumably due to the speed with which he was driving) than to the disaster in Myanmar. is it the fact that the former is closer to home? I don't know, but I don't really get it...
My feelings about this are boggling. You bring up an interesting thought - when so many souls leave this earth all at once, does the infinity of the universe feel this turning as a breeze or as a strong wind?
Our paths are many to turn the wheel once again.
@Luscious: 8,000 euros collected so far, for Myanmar. That has to be an all-time low. And I second you on the Sterchele coverage. But you know how it is: the young and the restless die, and the world grieves over the destruction of youth fully blown.
@deboo: the number is so huge. I think, even more, than the tsunami. And yet, as the world turns, we all go about our business, carelessly fortunate in our existence.
