the paper crane at peace park

We walked by the peace park, located at the corner of 40th street and Roosevelt, and saw the statue of a little girl with all the newly folded paper crane hanging on her.  And we knew it's the prayer for the Japan earthquake and tsunami happened a month ago.  66 years apart, different disaster and with same fear of nuclear power, haven't we learned enough from the consequence?
The paper crane on Sadako Sasaki were colorful and filled with hope, and all we need now is really the "hope" that we human learn from the damage we've made to the earth.

廣島核武受害者Sadako Sasaki的銅像上掛滿了彩色的祝福紙鶴,從西雅圖遙遠的祝福三月受災的日本。 66年前核武帶給廣島不勘的記憶,66年後核能造成了福島無盡的恐懼。代表希望的紙鶴,此時只能真的希望人類能從經驗裡學習讓環境能稍稍喘息。
