Oh, Christchurch

I cried when I heard the news, and I held my breath as I waited to hear from people on Twitter and Facebook, and I cried again when I saw the shots of the PGG building, and the cathedral, and thought, people must have died this time.

I think all of New Zealand was crying today. Oh, Christchurch.

Crying won't do, of course. Because now there's work to be done, supporting the people who live in Christchurch.

I felt so sick and useless. Am looking forward to taking action tomorrow once we hear what is needed most.
Much love.

Crying at my desk in Australia, and over the news here. Times like this make me wish I was home, not that I could do much. Waiting to here what I can do from here,

Crying. Screaming. Shaking. Sore and sleepless.

It was so strong we felt it here in Greymouth, and we felt the second aftershock too.

There's just no words...

Just dreading to hear a final death toll, and feeling exceedingly useless. Thinking of any of you in the city, and hoping you can find safety and a little peace somewhere.
