An old theme that millions of words have rightly been written on.
I'm writing this, Sunday 13th February 2005 from a ferry bound from Dover to Calais; I'm then driving down to Germany. So it was poignant to be listening to the radio reports this morning of the memorial gatherings happening today in Dresden - 50 years ago, it was bombed by the British and Americans, a great firestorm ensured and perhaps 35000 to 40000 perished. Just an example of the deaths that occurred on all sides during that war, and each and every one of those deaths deserves thoughts and reflection - "was this necessary" and "how can we do things better so that there's no need to loose lives in that way in the future".
On Friday, during a lunch break, I was talking with someone who had a work colleague who was on the beach in Thailand when the Tsunami struck. (Yes, I'm ashamed I may have the spelling of that wrong).
This man was on the beach, about to take a holiday trip on a boat with his 8 year old son and 6 year old daughter when the sea dried up. The sucking of water away by the great wave which, looking, he could see in the distance. He gathered up his children and ran. He didn't know the town. But he ran as "up" as he could. To find hiself, still at a low level, up a blind alley. 8 foot wall at the top. Nowhere to go. Wave coming. And he couldn't get over.
What to do? Life or death. He somehow managed to throw his son over before the water hit ... and the wall collapsed under the strain, carrying him and his daughter through and swept them along, holding on to one another to deposit them ... in a pile of drift material ... a distance away.
Had his son being crushed by the wall that collapsed a split second after he had thrown him? Had he been swept away? He had to find out, and he ran still beach-barefooted though the detrius left by the water surge back to where the wall had been and ... nothing ... except ... a cry - a shout in his son's voice. The imagination doing wicked things? No - an act of great providence; seeing the man throw his son over the wall, an occupant of the building beyond had grabbed him and rushed up to the room of the house as protection from the wave and - the voice was real. The son was safe; indeed as was the whole family - mum - in the hotel all the while wasn't in the dramatic events. Dad stayed in hospital for a few days to repair the damage he had done running back through the flood remains. The rest of the family repatriated quickly.
I tell a story there of 4 people. I listen, I sympathise, I identify. And I see in Dresden that same group of four, but without the happy ending, perhaps 10000 times over. It's hard to visualise ten thousand, isn't it? Let me ... ten thousand crosses:
