Even Fleas Find a Way

I wonder if it‘s a coincidence that of all the possible surroundings for an alien planet, I chose one with massive natural disasters. With the volcanic eruption currently threatening all of Europe, along with all the earthquakes shaking the world for the past months, one cannot but accept the vulnerability of life as we know it.

A while back I saw a picture of the earth cut in half and showing the thin layer of the planet that sustains life. It was very small. Life is so fragile but also very resilient once it’s set (life finds a way, or was it love finds a way? I can never remember...)

Anyway, the Icelandic volcano has been dubbed Mordor in my books. Not because I believe it houses something evil, but because it’s awesome power has captured the world and reminded us that we are just fleas on this planet’s coat. But even fleas find a way...
