“You can’t do one thing in one part of the earth’s system—lithosphere, atmosphere, hydrosphere—without affecting other parts of the system…When the faults are ready, earthquakes can be triggered with a force of no more than a handshake. That’s all you need, and climate change can provide a lot more force than that. There’s loads of evidence of how very small weather-related or climate-related changes can trigger geological activity. As for volcanoes, Iceland is a prime example. It was completely covered by ice in the previous ice age. Volcanic activity was suppressed and not much was going on. Then once the ice sheets melted, it had a 50 times increase in volcanic activity.”
Volcanologist, Bill McGuire

By Celtic sea
And crystal pane
Above the ancient Isle of Man
Does evening wane
We’ve waited long enough
To discover seasons
Cleft and crevasse
Memento morí
The compass spins
We have always been
Creatures forged from crust
Tomorrow is a new day
We will forage and frame old beginnings
These are the futures that belong to none
The futures that we imagine for the stranger
They must be better than for the individual self
Only in that action
Are we fit to survive
When passing through a cloud
Over a poem
Above shadow
Above canyon and red rock
The reason for being grows clear
At a place above dream
At origin
Beneath apogee
We only exist
Together
