Seismology

  (Refer previous post). Bloggie, your thoughts came back...one suggested "VERTIGO", inter alia, as a title...I thought that was interesting...but not an accurate descriptor of the emotions. Just proves how a picture communicates different things to different people?

No, the more appropriate caption would be: NOT SOLID AS A ROCK!

The world observes a MsMaverick...as a rock...a symbol of stability, calm, capable, alone, unwavering, strong. And so she is...ostensibly... mostly.

But, Mother Earth, when she overheats due to factors internal and external (yes, such as human activity),the built-up pressure has to go somewhere...radiating from that inner core outwards in seismic waves to escape where there is one tiny little crack...or forcing one open where none can be found..and so, rips apart mountains (see photo) so that once solid rocks crumble ...fall, gravitate to sea...sink! And then comes the tsunami.

Daily, Mother Earth experiences multiple small earthquakes that do not even cause a ripple, but there can be a multiplier effect...with each mini-quake triggering another and sometimes resulting in mega-quakes years later- with devastating effect.

Thank God humans aren't rocks. They are much stronger...they are NOT solid...they are soft...made of flesh...can absorb...bruise...tear...bleed...break... heal. They can flex...laugh...cry...get angry...punch back...go for a run...have a period...

But even so, every little quake, takes its toll. Creates tsunamis.

Every wound, big or small, even if healed, leaves a scar. An ts never as it was before.
