Good morning!
In zazen now we have a quiet and calm morning. But on the way here, we saw many trees, boughs, and branches fell by the last evening storm.
In my yard a big willow tree fell, eradicated and other boughs and branches fell. One day before, a severe tornado devastated Joplin, Missouri killing over one hundred people.
TEPCO reportedly only now, more than two months after the disaster, consider their three reactors melted down not noticing the reactors’ water gauges had been unreliable.
I saw a movie “Waste: Nuclear Nightmare.” Nuclear wastes were freely dumped into ocean for decades and then their containers eroded and contaminated ocean.
They must be kept safely for more than 200,000 years, one thousand generations, at least. Who asked and acquired the consent of it and who can control all disasters and mishaps?
From the past, present and until they stop nuclear power plants constantly release radiation into air, water and the earth, and discriminate workers causing cancer, etc.
People don’t care about these things usually, but only when they are directly hit by tornados, nuclear disasters, earthquakes, etc. they notice devastation and disorder.
Abnormal climate, nuclear disaster, flooding, etc. are all interrelated as civilization symptoms, though people don’t know it. We multiply and magnify these disasters.
It depends on whether we wake up and work out on these problems or just wait until disasters hit us directly.
