Hey guys!

I've read everything I can find on the net today, and watched the little
information that is being broadcasted on the news channels about the quake
in China.

I know Chengdu's aiport has cancelled it's flights, but thinks it will be
operating soon. (Not sure what that means)  The aiport website shows all of
the flights being cancelled since 2pm when the quake hit.

I can't make out how far west or northish the earthquake traveled, as only a
few areas are named.

It's seems like Qing Cheng Shan is close enough that it may have been
affected, but it's too difficult to say with the information I have.

Aparently roads out of Chengdu are pretty seriously affected, but can't find
clear information, as I imagine the information is still being collected.

I've heard Jesse was/is on a train to Chengdu, but was most likely far
enough away still that he would be safe.

Jesse when you get this, send us an update as to how things look.

My heart and prayer goes out to the people in Sichuan province.

My flight leaves in 16 days, this is certainly a pretty serious turn of
events.

Attached is google map wth the co-ordinates of qing cheng shan in comparison
to chengdu. (Seems like 50km in a flight path).

30.96667
103.51667

If anyone finds any information about sites affected, or quake zone mappings
please let me know.

This one news article says:
The epicenter of Monday's 7.8-magnitude earthquake was in Sichuan, about 57
miles northwest of the provincial capital of Chengdu.

If the co-ordinates I found on the net are correct looking at the attached
image,  it almost looks like the same or very near the same location....?

Feel free to investigate and correct me on this one as I'm really hoping i'm
not accurate here.

Hi , I have likewise been trawling everything I can find.  The Big PAnda
reserve which is very close by, is totally out of contact.  Wenchuan,
which is the epicentre seems to be the next door county.  Roads are
impassable there, and 80% of buildings are down there.  
QingChengShan seems to be  in the national park near the town in the next
county, where four or five schools and a hospital are down, with a lot of
dead and injured.  From what I can make out, it is only a few tens of
kilometers away from the epicentre.  I have just read that the main
railway line to the north east is damaged, stranding 10,000 people -
possibly Jesse amongst them. HAving studied Google Earth for the last
couple of hours, I think the area where the roads are cut off by
landslides MAY, only MAY be in or around the area.  Can't be sure of
that.  Oddly, my passport has disappeared in the post.  The post office
has been searching for it since Thursday.  It was en route back from the
Chinese embassy with my visa in it.  It is now being presumed lost or
stolen.  If it doesn't turn up, I will apply for a new passport, but
think I can be pretty sure that I will not be re-issued with a visa for
the area now. It may be that it is not so easy for any of us to get
there.    But, we are also blessed that it did not happen three weeks
from now..... My heart and prayers, like all of us, I am sure, are with
everyone who has been touched by the tragedy.  Jesse emailed me on Sunday
night and said be would be leaving the north to travel to Chengdu, and
that it would be a two day journey on the train..  So it is definite that
he was not yet  in the area...which is another blessing. Somehow I feel
this will touch us all with a sense of  immediacy........ Love in the
Tao, Muriel

I have my passport with my Visa, picked it up yesterday.... It was odd
because I had this feeling of urgency to go pick it up, even though  I had
weeks to do so.., Flight into Chengdu, no ticket in my hand as of yet, but
it's paid for and waiting for me to pick up.

Yes I agree Muriel, and so does my mother, she's thanking god over and over
again that it didn't happen a few weeks later or that I was not there a few
weeks earlier.

Well, I pray Jesse is okay, but somehow I know he'll be okay.  Something
about his life skills that will get him through.

 Hello Isaac and Muriel, and the Wag group.
 
I thank you all for your love and concern.
 
I am fine and safe in Xian city.
 
Teacher Hu wanted to visit with me before I went to Chengdu, so I changed my plans and visited with him before going to Chengdu.
 
As it happened, I was no where near Chengdu when the quake hit.
 
So I am so thankful I am safe and fine.
 
On another note, the temple we had planned to hold our workshop in has totally been destroyed, as has most of the temples on QingCheng Shan.
 
I am working to put up a donation page on our website to raise money to help in any rebuilding or relief projects for all those effeted on the mountain.
 
As fate had it, the train stoped midway, and we had to all get off in Xian city.
 
So I am in Xian city now.
 
Today I will go and pray at 8 Immortal Temple, and will go to Loguantai Temple to ask if we may hold our workshop there.
 
It is a very holy place, and the site where the Tao Te Ching was composed.
 
So it should be a wonderful place.
 
We will all still meet in Chengdu as planned, and just take an overnight train to Xian to transfer to Loguantai.
 
All will be fine and perfect I am sure.
 
I may be busy for a few days, getting things shifted to this new location.
 
For those interested to view some information on this new site - please visit here - 
 
With all love.
 
See you both soon.
 
Sincerely, Jesse

What a force nature is! the same force with in us!
It is interesting that it was the Tibetan Plateau plate that came over
on to the LongMenShan fault.
doesn't Zhuangzi talk about having to understand the useless before
understanding the useful?

May all your endeavors be useless!

Subject: [WAG] not a second too soon nor second too late
Message-ID: <4829CE02.3020005@verizon.net>

Today I took my dogs for a walk in the forest(yes DC has a forest) and 
our favorite tree had been felled by the torrential rains we had. I 
cried  and went to the beautiful tree (300 years or more old!) and it 
admonished me for attaching to the notion that it had been felled a 
moment too early.

My dogs seeing the grubs exposed started gobbling them up and I 
admonished them! Once again the tree admonished me. I said to the tree I 
don't want them to profit from its loss.On close examination of the tree 
tiny creatures were scurrying around and many were dead and I saw that 
many soon would die and the tree seeing my worry, said "I didn't fall 
one second too early nor one second too late, the grubs the dogs ate 
didn't die one moment too soon nor too late".

 The collateral damage was big, about four other trees not that old were 
also felled in their prime lay exposed. The tree watching me trying to 
straighten the branch on the young tree asked me why I felt I needed to 
make right the damage?I said it is not fair... this tree can live if the 
sap doesn't drain. The tree said if you try to repair the young tree you 
can only do so if you are not attached to the outcome, because what if 
that tree grows big and someone cuts it down  and uses it as an electric 
chair to kill many innocent people?
So, as I watched the dogs eat the grubs I started worrying that they 
would get worms. Kef the young one had showed up at my doorstep full of 
worms, fleas and cripple. I walked back asking myself do I preempt the 
worms and give her worm medicine am I interfering in nature. When I work 
on someone I always have this dilemma and I getting in the way of that 
person's path ? I realized by the time I got home that Kef will tell me 
if she needs it> She suffers a lot of pain (very crippled hips)and when 
she is in pain from her hips she hides from my compassion. She taught me 
to let others have their pain. I try to be a co- conspirator    to their 
own healing or not. It frees me to be a servant of the Dao not of my 
compassion.

This tree helped me a lot to act with out acting and be there but not there!
Love to all
Kelly
