Fortunately the large quake in Tonga has been managed and contained but the earth is shake, rattlin' and rollin' again and you have to wonder why, as always. People have said they are experienceing bigger quakes than ever. Why is that? Why does it seem we have the biggest quakes, best cyclones, more bombing, more building collapses, more explosions, more fires, bigger fires, more floods, melting icecaps...why this generation . What on earth are we doing. The Tonga earthquake sparked tsusnami warnings in NZ but fortuately the people who were evacuated were able to go back home safely. I guess the messages all got through and that is the thing to be greatful for. As for the quaking? Why? What can we do to help overcome it? Deal with it? Manage it? All this chaos management s becoming wearing and yet, people are astounding in their capacity to manage chaos. I confess I am impressed with normal, everyday people everywhere.
