For those who have lost so much due to the bushfires here in Australia,
we are so terribly sorry, and unable to truly express how we feel.
No one can know another's suffering.
We can only remember our own and how much it hurt
and wish that the suffering of others would end.
Forever.
We honor your courage, both now and in the future.
your helping your neighbors, your helping strangers.
And all we can say is that with all our hearts,
we hope your's will some day find
that the pain has eased,
some happiness returned.
May you benefit from the loving thoughts of we strangers,
as we hold all of you in our hearts.
