Yes, it's tru...@ Tinkerbell: thank you my dear.<br />Yes, it's true. It reminds us we are inter-connected in ways we can't control that trump the ones we can control every day of the week and twice on eruption day...<br /><br />@ DaisyCrazy: that is so true. Plus: 'we live on a rock that travels through space' should be a song lyric!<br /><br />@ Thomai: it does put things into perspective doesn't it? A 'sneeze' as you put it and our invincible civilisation is on its knees. But will we learn from it? Do we ever learn?Lalùhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06285305374842966857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651601435575018938.post-37660378111877518852010-04-21T02:41:04.890-07:002010-04-21T02:41:04.890-07:00Hello!
I really loved the part when you said "...Hello!<br />I really loved the part when you said "First cash and now ash". It's the bitter truth and i can honestly say that i am guilty because i really hadn't thought of any effects! <br />I heard it on the news. They so much spoke about the dust. But no one went deeper than that.<br />I feel somehow happy for me...because i was never the kind of person that popped in an another continent for the weekend.<br />But i also feel sorry for innocent people who will have to face more problems plus the economic crisis.<br />Ok. I know they'll manage. We'll all manage. However you are right in terms of modesty. We may pay for our arrogance and what struck me the most is that this wouldn't be unfair. <br />Moreover and above all i can say that after reading your post the feeling that overwhelmed me is the one of awe.<br />It's amazing that the sneeze of a volcano can cause the end of a way of thinking...and if it coughs maybe as you say the end of an era!<br />keep posting...thomaihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13081935413935648267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651601435575018938.post-62842521366575444832010-04-21T00:59:56.245-07:002010-04-21T00:59:56.245-07:00This thing forces us to realise that whether we li...This thing forces us to realise that whether we like it or not we live on a rock that travels through space. This rock is alive and will erupt and spend its energy at times; otherwise it will gather its force and when finally it manages to break through it'll shoot us all to kingdom-come! <br /><br />Get use to it people and think that we are not the force of nature but a small and irrelevant piece. Nature doesn't care whether we live or die. Goes without saying that it doesn't care whether we fly or not!DaisyCrazyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14837147362117832160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1651601435575018938.post-71552845771690283092010-04-20T10:24:15.982-07:002010-04-20T10:24:15.982-07:00I definitely cannot pronounce Eyjafjallajökull (da...I definitely cannot pronounce Eyjafjallajökull (dare I say, can barely spell it!) but it interesting that this volcano caused so much chaos, not only to those living near it, but affected people across the globe. It really does make you wanna stop for a minute to give it a thought.<br />Very interesting post :)tinkerbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15545347417874363790noreply@blogger.com
