----------Kind thoughts and blessings to people in need-------

[1113]

A warm welcome to every human, animal and plant,

I would like to start this thread by thinking and sending kind thoughts to everything on the planet that is affected by natural/unnatural disasters.

This happened yesterday;

(Christmas Day)

"Major 7.6 magnitude earthquake jolted southern Chile on Sunday, prompting thousands to evacuate coastal areas, but no fatalities or major damage were reported in the tourism and salmon farming region. Chile's National Emergency Office (ONEMI) lifted both the evacuation order and a tsunami watch three hours after the Christmas Day quake struck, telling nearly 5,000 people who had evacuated they could return to their homes. Onemi said one bridge in the area was impassable as crews worked to restore electricity to 21,000 homes without power. Officials had issued a tsunami warning earlier for areas within 1,000 km (621 miles) of the epicenter, just 39 km (24.5 miles) southwest of Puerto Quellon, off the coast. But the warning was downgraded to a tsunami watch. Eight mostly small ports in the area were closed, Chile's Navy said. The quake was felt on the other side of the Andes mountains in Argentina, in the southwestern city of Bariloche, but structural damage in areas close to the epicenter was limited, witnesses said."

My kindness thoughts and best wishes go to everything effected by this earthquake.

21000 homes lost power on christmas day.

Some kids didn't have Christmas, probably scared and afraid on this day of joy.

Blessings to Chile's children, family's, pets and plants.

Peace be with them.

Please feel free to add your kind thoughts or add a new event as they arise to show humanity our kindness, compassion and love.

Peace

Back to my holiday.

Matt.

Hey Matt,

Thank you for this beautiful post. I didn't even know that Chile had an earthquake yesterday - that is devastating.

I hope the affected communities can work together to recuperate.

Best wishes,

Zeal

Thank you for sending out compassionate thoughts to the world...it needs it. Thoughts are powerful, they're the origin of every action and reaction.

Being confronted with natural catastrophes puts everything into a different perspective, doesn't it ? Peeping out of our individual little bubbles of misery is therapeutic in itself. Reconnecting with the whole helps us find our place in it. Unfortunately, this awareness of belonging is often taken away by mental illness.

Thank you for reminding us.

Hi Zeal and Starwolf,

Perspective. Yes!

We are so blessed to live in the lucky country.

Our standard of living is one of the highest in the world.

We live in a country that is not plagued with massive natural disasters.

I wounder how we would feel, with all the goings-on (mental illnesses) etc, if we were faced with something like that.

I like to visualize walking in the shoes of the people affected by that earthquake, I think for 1 minute our worries would be dispersed.

My bubble just got popped!

Still, my thoughts are with the community effected.

They have had over 20 more minor after shocks.

I hope the community come together and hope is formed, for the children.

Peace

Matt
