Hope of Rainbows after the Storms of Destruction
My heart is crying after watching the news footage tonight of the Earthquake and horrifying Tsunami in north Japan March 10, 2011.... it is hard to wrap my mind and heart around the pain and suffering of thousands of people as homes and vehicles, boats and business are torn to shreds and carried across the farmlands of NE Japan, in many cases actually burning as they float. An 8.9 magnitude earthquake is one of the 5 most powerful quakes in recorded history, and shook buildings and took out power 230 miles away in Tokyo, causing some fires there as well. More waves will follow the first, making rescues difficult or impossible until they calm down.
Hawaii was under a tsunami warning... uncertain how much will hit the Islands but estimated time of arrival would be at 3 am, while on the Oregon Coast and around the mouth of the Columbia we are under a Tsunami watch, for around 7:30 am... may only be a small surge by then, but very hard to tell.
My prayers and tears go out to the people of Japan and surrounding area as the destruction spreads and people work on survival and recovery.... (UPDATE IN COMMENTS)

“May God give you .... for every storm a rainbow, for every tear a smile, for every care a promise and a blessing in each trial. For every problem life sends, a faithful friend to share, for every sigh a sweet song and an answer for each prayer.” ~ Irish Blessing.

Prayer, Morning
First Thoughts
Let God have your first awaking thoughts; lift up your hearts to Him reverently and thankfully for the rest enjoyed the night before and cast yourself upon Him for the day which follows. Familiarize yourself so consistently to this that your conscience may check you when common thoughts shall first intrude. Think of the mercy of a night’s rest and of how many that have spent that night in hell; how many in prison; how many in cold, hard lodgings; how many suffering from agonizing pains and sickness, weary of their beds and of their lives. Think of how many souls were that night called from their bodies terrifyingly to appear before God and think how quickly days and nights are rolling on! How speedily your last night and day will come! Observe that which is lacking in the preparedness of your soul for such a time and seek it without delay.

ON EXPLORED..
We live in an area with many Amish people. This doll, within the collection of a woman who asked me to photograph them, represents an Amish girl wearing a prayer bonnet. The doll stands about eighteen inches (45 cm) tall.
Traditionally, prayer flags come in sets of five, one in each of five primary colors. The five colors represent the elements and are arranged from left to right in a specific order: blue (symbolizing sky/space), white (symbolizing inner-self/cloud), red (symbolizing fire), green (symbolizing water), and yellow (symbolizing earth).
The center of a prayer flag traditionally features a "Ta" (powerful or strong horse) bearing three flaming jewels on its back. The Ta is a symbol of speed and the transformation of bad fortune to good fortune. The three flaming jewels symbolize the Buddha, the Dharma (Buddhist teachings), and the Sangha (Buddhist community), the three cornerstones of Tibetan philosophical tradition.
Surrounding the Ta are various versions of approximately 20 traditional mantras (powerful ritual utterances), each dedicated to a particular deity (in Tibetan, deities are not so much Gods as "aspects of the divine" which are manifest in each part of the whole non-dual universe, including individual humans). These writings include mantras from three of the great Buddhist Bodhisattvas: Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche), Chenrezi (Avalokitesvara, the Bodhisattva of Compassion, and the patron of the Tibetan people), and Manjushri.
