there's so much activity going on underneath the tectonic plates. right beneath our feet, there's lava moving, sculpturing landscape over the centuries.
imagine the bubbling lava in a volcano. on the outside, there's peace and tranquility and ppl often go about their usual agriculture lifestyle, making good use of the fertile volcanic soil. the internal pressures built up in the volcano may rise dangerously to bursting point, but perhaps the grace of God releases the pressure a little... and what could have been really tragic slipped pass unnoticed - the ppl in the vicinity still unaware of what's going deep, deep down in the ground.
it amazes me how much internal turbulence could be going on, potentially harmful. very harmful. and perhaps there are signs from the smoke released out of the creeks once in a while, or the thin line of molten lava forming a golden stream down the mountain. deceptively adding colour to the picturesque scenery but really, a tell-tale sign of danger, peril ahead. yet all these are masked by the overlying perceived calmness, peacefulness and tranquility...
I am no geologist. Lord, have mercy on me.
