So while news broadcasters notify the public of humanity's luck that the
winds are blowing the radiated air out to sea instead of over human
populated areas, instead of breathing a sigh of relief, or celebrating,
rather I cry for the sea. I cry for the air, the wind, the sea and all the
creations that exist because we are all related. - Krystalline Kraus
