When you sit beside an ongoing geologic event, you get to observe forces beyond your control. Or perhaps even beyond your understanding. You observe a meeting between our construct of time and the deepness of unmeasurable eons. You see gases, liquids and solids transforming before your eyes.
Most of life is a long wait for something to blow.
What can you command? You lift a foot and place it one step closer to something that moves you. In response the universe will blow your mind.
