At somewhere 4:30 this morning I woke up, didn’t understand why, and went back to sleep.  In the morning my watch informed me that my heart had leaped at this moment of the earthquake, and there had been a quake of 7.8 magnitude in Turkey and Syria.   Then another earthquake of the same strength, not including the aftershocks.  We’ve already offered help, but we’re also terrified because we’re on that rift.

Forget about politics, forget about war.  Now is the time to help each other.
