Dear Caring Souls,

In America our hearts, souls, and physical selves are traveling to the Gulf Coast, and all the areas so affected by Hurricane Katrina. In other parts of the world, too, we are called to see and to help.

In all of this, love floods in. Billions of miracles are being generated all over the world each day in response to nature and unnatural disasters. In the midst of this love and these miracles, there is also frustration, helplessness, and blame. Love floods in there, too. We can communicate about all of our feelings and can take new action and create change. In chaos, and crisis, people are waking up, and speaking up, more than ever before.

I can feel the strength of love building and faith intertwining.

Also, crisis brings change, and it’s often agonizing to experience these changes. We need each person creatively thinking and taking action.

I know that the 30,000+ souls who receive this eLetter are all doing innovative and creative things to offer food, clothing, shelter, or cash to assist. I will add links for this purpose, too. Here at Planet SARK we’re putting up a donation link and special offer for subscribers to contribute.

We are also launching “Letters of Support and EnCOURAGEment” and are asking for you to contribute. Here’s how it works: There is a great need for joy and encouragement long after clothing and cash have been distributed. I remember when my mom was in a nursing home, and I asked for people to send mail. My mom received thousands of pieces of mail, many of which were put up on her walls, and other nursing home residents would visit to see and read the mail. My mother felt so supported and loved from receiving and reading this email.

Here at Planet SARK, we envision our creative community sending mail for those souls affected by the hurricane. A few short sentences written in bright colors can travel so far. To preserve your privacy, please do not put your return address or other identifying information in your letter, and this also eliminates the need for recipients to respond.

Please send your snail mail marked “Letters of Support and EnCOURAGEment” to Planet SARK, PO Box 330039, San Francisco, CA, 94133, and we’ll take care of forwarding them on to people who need them.

Thank you in advance, and we’ll let you know about the mail that comes in.
