Big picture... of Morakot。

I am an American living in Southern Taiwan at the moment and just experienced my first typhoon. What unbelievable power, such as I have never experienced in my life. Locked into my 15th floor apartment, it felt like an earthquake and hurricane crossing paths, conjuring up power to attack little Taiwan.

It has now become such a tragedy as the death toll and missing people toll rises. These things are never easy to accept and move on from. I must say though, that I have never met kinder and more helpful people in all my travels as I have encountered here. I have seen such grace and kindness and especially after the storm, I see that people will rebuild, will mourn, and will continue with their daily lives as best as they know how.

Even through the storm and all the tragedy, there will remain a certain harmony and peace within the people and I am proud to call this place my home.

  1. 看了好難過!
    這幾天看電視報導心裡都好沈重,
    怎麼台灣這麼脆弱!
    環境倒了,我們應該要堅強。

  2. 寬寬心,別看電視了,也別讓 zozo yoyo 看。

    而且,這 36 張照片裡也有很動人,能讓人流下溫暖的淚的呀。別太傷心,對自己不好,對孩子也不好。

    災難一向都是是人性的試煉,對總統官員是,對升斗小民也是;對苦難的災民是,對我們這些沒受到災害的,也是。

    大家靠緊一點,要握住彼此。我們很脆弱,我們也很堅強。
