veracity: (Australia - Sarah Porch)

I was linked here from [livejournal.com profile] irreparable.

I had already planned on donating money, and I were living there, I'd probably provide more. Not because it's horrific (though it is) or it's a nice gesture (though it is). I'd do it because it's right. You help out. You take care. You remember people matter. I'll donate more in a couple weeks because I have a feeling what's being donated now will be used up in a week, if not less. So I'll wait and give more then.

It's so wrong and terrible and wrong. There's not words. I'm from the southeast US where brushfires are more limited to Florida. But I know about nature's bitchy attitudes and capricious nature. We had a tornado in the beginning of March that ripped through Atlanta. We have our hurricanes and their destructive selves. As much as it hurts as humans, answers don't always appear. Sometimes a bad thing is just a bad thing. The only blame that can be attributed are the arsonists and I have faith your system will convict them.

When my godmother dies, which could be a decade or more, I'm planning on moving to Australia. Not that I've been, but it's one of the few places I can pin on a map and say "that's it." Others are far more local, but there's also Rome. There's something about your country, though. It calls. How can I hope help a land calling?
