Heartbroken for Japan

Mar 11, 2011 Beth Monaghan

We at InkHouse, like everyone else, woke up to the terrible news of the massive earthquake and devastating tsunami that followed in Japan. I set up a column on Tweetdeck to monitor the news and the updates were coming so quickly that I could not even see them — it was like the scroll function got stuck. These kind of ineffable tragedies leave us without words. Our hearts are broken for the people there and our prayers are with them. Here are the links that have been the most compelling to us so far. We'll update this as they come:
