In the Aftermath of a Tragedy: Biscuet reports on the Chinese Sichuan Earthquake from the Frontlines

May 20, 2008 · 3 Comments

The 2008 Chinese Earthquake in Sichuan in Perspective:

A tragedy the Chinese Sichuan Earthquake truly boggles the mind. Biscuet brings a compassionate and caring sensitivity from the frontlines in China:

I remember exactly where i was the day 9/11 happened.
I remember exactly what i was doing the night of hurricane Katrina.
I remember the Oklahoma City bombing like it was yesterday.
I can easily remember the great tragedies that have happened in America.

And now. Now i remember the first great tragedy that happened while living in China.

My heart and prayers goes out to the people of China, particularly the victims and their families.

UPDATE: Pictures of the Chinese Sichuan Earthquake on Flickr.

Check out Zoe Carnate blog’s interesting spiritual response to the Chinese earthquake disaster. Its certainly contemplative, heart felt, renewing, and heart-felt.

    Thanks for continuing to pass along our compassionate heart for the Chinese during these very difficult days. The grieving here is certain to continue for a long time, but we know there is hope for great things to arise from this mess.
