Peace Greetings!

Even if words are powerless to express our personal and collective sadness, concern and care for you, we still would like to bring to you through this letter our deepest and sincerest empathies.

We are inspired no end by stories we see in the news: of your quiet dignity and self-respect despite the suffering and devastation, of your determination not to succumb to selfishness as you continue to care for each other and the whole world. Yes, you have become much larger rather than being diminished. And we sincerely thank you for your reminding us of these values.

We ourselves have been agonizing over how to be more concrete in our concern for you, how to transform our empathy and love for you into action. Please know that we are ready anytime to be of more relevant and concrete service to you during these trying times. Please tell us if there’s anything we can do for you, our dearest friends.

Please take care.
