The Floods around my home, Fairfield Brisbane
18 Jan 2011 1 Comment
in Brisbane, Community, Events, Fairfield Brisbane Australia, Flooding 2011
This is an image of the neighbourhood where I live at the peak of the January 2011 Flooding. My house is marked with the blue dot. The original set of images from across Brisbane can be seen here.
I have a set of images available in my Facebook collection of the impact of the flood in my suburb and the City of Brisbane here.
Back to my lovely little suburb, now battered and scarred with debris and memories strewn on roadways.
So aware of how fortune smiled on me and yet others have lost treasures.
The lack of power and gas seem trivial against the loss of so much by friends and neighbours
We will not only rebuild the material loss, for my hope is that we rebuild a new community of compassionate relationships, deep respect and care for each other.
Again I give thanks for the concern and messages shared here by friends.
May blessings and peace sustain us all at this time!!

Wednesday, January 5
Thirteen people from across the Australia, the Netherlands, and the United States arrived in Jerusalem today as part of a delegation sponsored by Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT). During the next several days the delegates will speak with representatives of Israeli and Palestinian peace and human rights organizations. They will travel to the West Bank city of Al Khalil (Hebron) and the South Hebron Hills, where CPT’s long-term Palestine team is based. They will visit Palestinian farmers and shepherds whose land and livelihoods have been threatened by expanding Israeli settlements.
Members of CPT’s January 4-17 Israel/Palestine delegation are Rick Polhamus (Fletcher, Ohio, USA), Sophia Calcagno (Chicago Illinois, USA), Rocky Calcagno (Chicago Illinois, USA), Wallace Cole (Clemmons, North Carolina, USA), Laura Colee (Bloomington, Illinois, USA), Barry George (Austin Texas, USA), Cornelia de Graaf, (Amsterdam, Netherlands), Marlaina Leppert-Wahl (Lebanon Ohio, USA), Jessica Morrison (Melbourne, Victoria, Australia), Carole Powell(Morayfield, Queensland, Australia), Michael Snarr (Wilmington Ohio, USA), Caroline Spoeneman (Princeton New Jersey, USA), and Jennifer Svetlik (Washington, DC, USA).
Christian Peacemaker Teams (CPT) is an initiative of the historic peace churches (Mennonites, Church of the Brethren, and Quakers) with support and membership from a range of Catholic and Protestant denominations. CPT has had a continuing presence in the West Bank since 1995.

There is so much to reflect on, to break my heart over and so little time to process it. Have been listening to amazing people including an Isreali soldier from Breaking the Silence - There is a sustained approach to break a people and completely destroy them. You may think you already know this
