are so difficult to grasp:
22,000 dead
41,000 missing
hundreds of thousands starving
Cyclone Nargis blew in like a storm of numbers
twelve-foot storm surge
ninety-five percent of houses destroyed
one million homeless
drowning in a sea of numbers
and they just make you numb
clinging to life-raft numbers while the tide goes out
and whispers help
help
help

This is really just unimaginable! I keep trying to picture it but it boggles the mind. I've sent a donation and now I am just praying the relief supplies from all over get to the ones who need it most.
That is more than my province population of homeless>!!
