Well folks, it is a sad week all over the world. I don't think I'm able to write something here for the time being, so I've decided to give some space for some humble effort from my side to help with the catastrophe in Japan.
I've tried hard to imply here some links for donations and I've emailed some donation websites to provide me with some clues, unfortunately none did reply, except of PayPal, which actually guided me to put my own icon and I then, should transfer the funds to donating organizations, which is a responsibility I'm fearing to take care of. One of the trusted websites as I believe must be the Red Cross, you can start from there if you really want to give donations and help give a life to someone on this globe, and surely one of these would be The Red Cross, or The American Red Cross here, as well as similar Red Cross bases all around the world. Also, PayPal's blog got interesting information if you are willing to help in some other way.
Please note that there are some fake organizations that do take donations under such circumstances, so please, check into it more and make sure they are official.
Our hearts as well go along with the peoples of Bahrain, KSA, Libya, Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Oman and probably Syria on the way. Just like how the Tunisian poet ِAbu Al-Qásim Al-Sháby [English here] (1909-1934) said in his poem (and how ironic his own people started the flare of freedom in the Arab world as well):
The morning sun, will rise, definitely...

君が代は
千代に八千代に
さざれ石の
いわおとなりて
こけの生すまで
千代に八千代に
さざれ石の
いわおとなりて
こけの生すまで
Looking up the Japanese national anthem to post it here, opened my eyes on interesting information and history behind the shortest national anthem in the world.
Maybe my words are not eloquent enough to describe the sympathy with the Japanese after such a disaster, but I tried to write something, and hope the overall meanings of my words reach to their ears and hearts as well. You are not alone...
The Rising Sun
Oh land of the fury,
the past shame and glories.
The happy moments,
and the animated stories.
On the edge now,
passing the train off by.
Like the world stumbles,
for a rage down from the sky.
Through the hardships,
through all sorts of pain.
The light kept shining,
so it will be again.
Raise a rainbow,
flip up a frowning face.
Time is a healer,
this courage I praise.
Devastation,
mounts of desperation,
unconscious sensation,
several might knock you down.
Trust me,
the world looks down so humbly,
and just crying so simply,
for a smile at dawn.
Kneeling, while I'm praying,
begging and praising,
amid the cries and keening,
to the Grace of One.
Look over here,
over this shoulder,
a caress in a finger,
just watch, the rising sun...
Losing your faith?
I understand...
The tears are down?
just take my hand.
Is it blowing?
not a damn.
Feeling cold?
here I am.
Crazy world,
evolves so fast.
No respect,
not a simple heart.
Just who cares,
when you smile?
Innocently,
from the pile.
And then,
if you have to mention,
all about this tension,
that goes in your heart.
Then know,
I am in here also,
for sharing a rainbow,
that won't depart.
Kneeling, while I'm praying,
begging and praising,
amid the cries and keening,
to the Grace of One.
Look over here,
over this shoulder,
a caress in a finger,
just watch, the rising sun...
Oceans of troubles under your feet,
Shakes and shakes, nothing to be feared.
Just like the world's king,
eternity seeking.
you are,
just like a rising sun...
the past shame and glories.
The happy moments,
and the animated stories.

ولا بد لليل أن ينجلي *** ولا بد للقيد أن ينكسر
If the people one day desired life *** Destiny then must obey
And the night must clear out *** And the chain must break
The morning sun, will rise, definitely...
