One of the advantages of travel is that it can make you feel more connected to the planet. In times when others in the world are suffering, it can really impact you, however. This weekend has reminded me of the fragility of human life.

My thoughts and prayers go to the victims of landslide in Mocoa, Colombia.

It has also been a tough week in Australia has tens of thousands have been impacted by unbelievable flooding resulting from the landfall of Cyclone Debbie.

And one cannot stop thinking of all those trapped in Mosul, suffering in Somalia and

Deepest condolences to all impacted, their families and loved ones.

Have a safe week wherever you are.  Peace be with you.
