A Prayer for Japan

This is the most beautiful prayer I ever heard. Thank you for this. Yes, lets all pray together, as ONE, to support and to heal Japan. Love & Light to all of you.

:-)

panalo tlga, as in napansin ni Coelho poem mu. iba ka! fave authr ko din xa. :)
I do hope Japan recovers soon, I have a friend who lives pala in Tokyo and I remembered a day after the tsunami lng, we we're so worried about her kase she;s alone and her husband is deployed in Iraq. buti nlng maayos naman xa. I;m sure Japan will smile again soon. nakakahanga ang disiplina sa kanila, pag may dumating na donation kahet maubusan. nakapila tlga sila, d nag-aagawan, d tulad saten. :(
When Japan recovers, I'm sure, mas madameng tourist na pupunta sa kanila.
love the 1st pic Jerik.

@Olga Lishansky Thank you so much! this comment really warms the heart. From the bottom of my heart, i appreciate your kind words. Every night, i try to talk to God and ask for a sign. I know i have to do something to help out. If it means me flying over to Japan to help the people personally, so be it. Many thanks to you Olga! :)

@Pinkgrid pray with me Ingrid. And share the prayer to your friends too. We're making miracles happen!

@thepinaysolobackpacker Thanks so much Gael. I share this prayer to my Pinoy Travel Bloggers Family, without you guys i wouldn't be as inspired to continue traveling and writing these stories. He is my personal hero. He writes simple yet thought provoking which i really like. And believe me when i say, i am not sure if i can live to his feature. I just couldn't pass on not doing anything. I am not yet done writing my Japan journals. They're just so many and the plan was, the last few posts will be about my experiences and realizations. The recent events made me realize one thing... It's time to pay back in kindness! Have a lovely day, Gael!

your love for Japan (and other places) is very admirable jerik. seeing more than the usual aspect of traveling. that's why this is one of the blogs that I frequent. you show another perspective of traveling in solitude.

God bless Japan.

so proud of you Jerik! my heart was pounding too as I was reading PC's blog with your prayers on it. so I guess you felt ecstatic. =)

ps- your japan entry made me realize I can travel cheaply to Japan. sana wala ng earthquakes next yr ^_^

Thanks for this prayer.. let's continue praying hindi lang pra sa japan kundi para sa buong mundo.. kaligtasan ng bawat isa ang mahalaga..

Thank you for praying. Thank you for your compassion. Thank you. Arigato.

@Ed Thank you so much Ed! Actually if someone asks me for the best advice, it is not to ask from me. Experience it for yourself. Whenever i am on the road, realizations pop in my head and i know i need to write them down to inspire other people. This one entry in particular was hard for me to write because there are no words to describe how sad what's happening. I am not yet finished writing my Japan series and there's so much i want to say. Thanks again Ed for your continuous support!

@Chyng perfect word to describe the feeling is surreal. up until now, i still can't believe it. But apart from this feat, it's still the sad truth what's happening in Japan. It's such a beautiful country and i know you will enjoy it there! For a female traveler, i couldn't recommend a far safer country to travel to than Japan! For sure, fast recover naman ng Japan. Just in time for your trip next year! I am sure you'll travel there next year!

@Ang Babaeng Lakwatsera You're right! 1 minute lang naman, just pray kasi if you'll take time to realize ano kaya nararamdaman nila ngayon. What if ikaw yung nasa kalagayan nila. di ba? Also, what's heartwarming is that regardless of race,everyone in the world is now praying for Japan! Lahat naman tayo brothers and sisters wherever we may be in the world. Thanks!!!

@Anonymous Are you from Japan? I owe it to the people there. Strangers, friends, acquaintances, --- all the people of Japan have shown nothing but respect, kindness and openness to share their ideals, their passions and their thoughts. That alone makes me feel special and at home. And Japan has been very kind to Filipinos. A lot of the Filipinos have prospered in life, thanks to Japan for the opportunity. Arigato!!!

It saddened me seeing this calamity in Japan and some other parts of the world...when the nature strikes back we became powerless and hopeless, however, as the Holy Scripture says(let me be a spiritual this time) these are the signs of God's soon return, we can't control it but expect more terrible catastrophic in the near future....

let's all pray for the recovery of Japan...

@Eric I believe that it's never too early or too late to mend our ways. It is a borrowed life and we have to make the most out of it. We have to take care of this planet. It's not getting any younger, and life can only live on earth. Thank you for your thoughts, very inspiration to those reading this.

@Pinoy Adventurista I am with you brother. Help spread the word. Japan has been very good to the Philippines. It's time to help our brothers and sisters! Have a good evening!

Nakakalungkot nga naman kasi kahit ako nagbabalak uli mag-trip sa Japan... and then this... I also experience the kindness and hospitality of these people. And the of course the beautiful places of Japan. I hope they recover soon...

Astig ka at si P.Cuelho napansin work of writing mo... great writing, keep doing it.

@Ian Me too. I was planning to travel back to Tokyo and then head up north to Sapporo and Hokkaido. But i hope next year, everything's back to normal. i wanna go back April next year.

Thanks so much, although it feels great to be recognized by Sir Paulo Coelho, the thought of having to write such a sad prayer is painful. Thank you so much Ian. I love reading your articles and hope you can post more about beautiful Hawaii!!!
