The new school term has started and the entrance ceremony of my niece was held this morning. Sakura/cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Little things seem extraordinary sometimes, the beauty of spring is such a one this year. Faint pink here and there, it makes my daily dog-walk like a special event. One month has passed after the tohoku earthquake. What we read in the newspapers and what we see on TV might not be saying all as is. What we can do from the west seems so limited but making donations is one powerful thing for now and the future, not only for them but for "all of us" with hope.
