This week, we give thanks for the remarkably limited life-threatening harm that appears to have resulted from the massive earthquake that struck off Russia's Kamchatka coast earlier this week. Recorded at a magnitude of 8.8, this ranks among the most powerful quakes in history, sending tsunami alerts right around the Pacific. Despite its strength, the earthquake resulted in minimal human casualties, a miraculous outcome that prompts discussions on nature's cause-and-effect power and the role of human intention in global events.
We discuss the immediate aftermath, consider how communities are coping with the after effects, and explore where our focused intentions and prayers may now be needed.
Prayers and intentions start at 14 minutes 20 seconds.
