good job of explaining empathy to those who are in need of an extra dose of it. We are fine where we live in Wainuiomata Lower Hut. Our son is ok in part of Auckland least affected. Devastation in so many other places throughout North Island. Earthquake felt but no real damage. Best regards David in NZ

Dear Sunshine, "Faith, Hope, Charity--the greatest of these being charity." I think that must include charity of the heart, or empathy. Your poem is a lovely message. Congratulations!

In tears and sorrow, the loving presence of some one near, or a gentle tap on the shoulder or a few words of concern are enough to douse the heat burning inside. Great entry Smile. All the Best. Blessings !
