Traces, 2008-11-14
Reading about and seeing photographs from Surtsey and the surrounding islands led me to think of the explosive events of birth and of death. Earth is alive itself, and its geological life can be like the life of a human being. Smooth, round, soft and flexible flowing slopes of youth with occasional outbursts. Settled, brittle, hard, eroded, stubborn forms of old age.
Conclusions are often destructive.
One must strive to stay soft by keeping one’s mind open and free from absolute conclusions. Softness leads to birth.
