The Heart of Japan
For My Friends in Japan and Everywhere,
Â
Words are not enough to let you know the heartache I feel for you and all the people of Japan suffering through the recent devastation. Since the summer of 2007 when my friend, Mr. William Rainen, introduced me to his friend, Mr. Yoshihiko Ito, I have enjoyed a wonderful, heartfelt connection with Japan. It has been my pleasure and privilege to share the Symbala work with you and hundreds of Symbalas have found their way to the ‘rising sun’ since that magical beginning.
Â
I became evcn more aware of our deep connection when I spent many hours watching the television bring your disasters so vividly to the world’s attention. My ache was very personal and I grieve for your pain and loss. Since words fail me, I spent the time co-creating a Symbala with you and I dedicate it to the great spirit of the Japanese people. I am calling it ‘The Heart of Japan’ with my love, appreciation and admiration. May it bring you solace as you rebuild and go forward with new hopes and dreams.

With Loving Resonance,
Lahrinda
