Once again, this Earth that we all live on has decided to show us just who’s boss. That pesky volcano whose name few people can pronounce correctly (Eyjafjallajökull) is wreaking havoc with the world. Flights cancelled. People stranded on vacation in countries not their own. Meetings, funerals, weddings; all missed. No way to get across the big pond unless you happen to book a cruise. Life disrupted. And there isn’t one darn thing we can do about it except wait it out. Air travel is something we all take for granted. Just hop on a plane and go. To no longer be able to do this is unthinkable, even for a few days.
The forces of nature are awesome, aren’t they? Humankind is puny in comparison. Nature will do what it will do and we have no way to stop it. Or change it. Or harness it.
We are supposed to be leaving a week from Sunday on a business trip + vacation to Ireland and France. Will the volcano allow it? Only time will tell.
