And it is heartening to read and hear of the kindness being offered to the Syrian and other migrant families in Germany and elsewhere.<br />If no one saw this news, there were marches and rallies in many European capitals on Sept. 12 with the theme of "Welcome Refugees." The photographs of huge crowds in many cities were uplifting.<br />Even in Budapest, there was a rally and concert at the train station where Syrians had temporarily camped on their way to other European countries. <br />The signs all over were very welcoming.<br />And the kind, generous people far outweigh the anti-immigrant groups. This was clearly shown in Germany and other countries.<br />I met a young woman from Berlin in a cafe nearby last week. We talked about the migrants going to Germany, and she vowed to find a way to help them when she returned to her city quite soon.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-27536974244858118172015-09-26T06:31:14.769-04:002015-09-26T06:31:14.769-04:00Welcome, Sujata - sorry, late to the party as alwa...Welcome, Sujata - sorry, late to the party as always.

My sympathies for people looking for a place to improve their lives is something I feel on a blood cell level. A few days ago, I put a photo of Steve Jobs on my Facebook page, labeled with "The son of an immigrant from Homs, Syria." I thought my message was clear, but the post did not get much of a response. Germany and the other countries who welcome the immigrants are casting their bread on the waters: if they take 50,000 people and get one brilliantly creative child out them, the expenses will be paid. The city I live in and my home here would not look as wonderful as they do, if they had not been built by the Italians who came over on the boats with my grandparents. Naysayers continue to grouse. But I say "full speed ahead." Blessings are in the future to replay kindness today.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-6795703171223528492015-09-23T14:02:26.824-04:002015-09-23T14:02:26.824-04:00Thank you, Sujata.

The immigration crisis in Europe is the greatest threat the West faces. And by threat I mean to what we regard as civilized behavior confronted by this incontrovertible reality: The state of our world has millions realizing that the irrational choice to fleeing their homelands is to stay and face inevitable doom.

She'll blog every other Wednesday. I've been very fortunate to be in a writing group with Sujata, and the Kubu series has benefitted greatly from her feedback. I highly recommend her Rei Shimura series, as well as her recent India novels, The Sleeping Dictionary and The Ayah's Tale. Welcome Sujata.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
