Purrs 4 Peace Week 38: Peace for the Earth - Inside and Out

The human spirit is not dead. It lives on in secret.... It has come to believe that compassion, in which all ethics must take root, can only attain its full breadth and depth if it embraces all living creatures and does not limit itself to mankind. ~Albert Schweitzer, Novel Peace Prize address, "The Problem of Peace in the World Today"

Earthquakes are a natural way for the earth to release internal stress. Millions of quakes shake and roll the earth’s surface each hear along fault lines. As I understand it, there are about 20 plates along the earth’s surface that move and shift past each other. When the plates squeeze or stretch they put force on themselves and on adjacent plates causing ruptures or breaks in the earth’s surface. This release of stress through these breaks spreads outward in waves from the epicenter. These waves are felt as shaking and rolling. Most casualties seem to be caused by the collapse of buildings and other structures.

Thus, it seems that earthquakes are an indication of a lack of PEACE beneath the surface of our earth. And whereas the earth may need to release a buildup of energy, it seems to me that a more peaceful interior earth would lead to a more peaceful world.

Therefore, as we purr today for the well being and peace of those impacted by the earthquake in Chile, that we might also purr for the well being a peace of the interior of our planet.

Purrs 4 Peace Week 38: Another Week, Another Quake, Another Purr.

There’s no disaster that can’t become a blessing and no blessing that can’t become a disaster. - Richard Bach.

Another week, another earthquake. But to the people and animals trapped in it’s epicenter, this is not just another tragedy. According to my research so far at least 800 people dead due to the 8.8 magnitude quake that occurred on February 27, 2010 around Concepcion, Chile on February 27, 2010. And authorities are still searching the rubble so that toll may rise. There have not been reported animal casualties that I have been able to discover reported. In addition, over 1.5 million people and animals have been displaced and are without homes due to the quake. And more killed and rendered homeless by the tsunami that devastated a nearby seaside village, Dichato.

Thankfully, even though the quake was a greater magnitude than that which struck Haiti, due to building codes and the depth of the quake the number of casualties was not nearly as high. Nevertheless, this does not comfort the families who did suffer loss I’m sure.

Therefore, this week I would like to purr for the animal and human victims of the the quake in Chile. Purr for their comfort, purr for their recovery, purr for their revitalization....so that they may have PEACE.
