Coping with a tsunami on shores I've walked.

The author reflects on the tsunami that hit Sendai, Japan and his experience of visiting the country in 2006. He writes to Japanese friends about his shock and concern for those who are affected by the earthquake and the ongoing nuclear plant crisis. The article notes a journal entry from 2006 where the author recalls the food and places of interest in Sendai, and a March 13, 2011 entry about praying for miracles at Fukushima for the Japanese people. The author concludes with a verse from the song "Oseh Shalom."
