A Christchurch Rock for sale
3 Mar 2011
I feel more than a little inadequate in the face of the devastation that has been caused in Christchurch, and it was with almost relief that I responded to a phonecall from a friend who's organising a large fundraising concert at Holy Trinity later this month, which we will be able to actively contribute too.
It will be good to actually do something concrete, rather than just wringing my hands at the horror of it all.
Courteney alerted me to this auction on Trademe though - and I thought the thread of comments and especially the house owners responses were simply pure gold, especially in the face of so much horribleness.
How someone who has gone thru what he has, can find the humour and the humanity in his situation to the degree that he does, utterly impresses me.
And note that buried in amongst all the delightfully appreciative comments there is one, becos there is always one, who simply fails to see the point in any of the humour.
I think you have to feel sorry for that person. Don't you?!
