hot springs nc lies on a fault line. when we were still in asheville we once awoke to a teenie tiny earthquake. that random event doesnt even come close to hinting at what a real earthquake is like and definitely doesnt describe what is happening in japan. it is surreal and impossible for me to imagine. my heart aches for the people there. i cannot imagine what would happen in this country if an event like this were to occur. in the information age, it is easy to make fun of the social media sights. but i have an old friend from high school and college who was lives in japan. through facebook posts, he has kept everyone aware of his status. it is good to be able to carry him in my heart and send him all the positive energy i have. its amazing that we can still feel close to someone so far away. on that note, i follow several other pottery blogs. this was a post from a potter who lives in japan. should you choose to read it, have some tissues near. it made me cry.
