day thirty-six: explosion
My people come from the Azores, which is a group of small islands one-thousand miles off the European coast. Volcanic islands. Exploding magma from cracks in the ocean floor. Spitting up future farms, mountains, and coastlines. Lush. Green.
I am a volcano. It is where I come from. It is in me. I am creating. I am raw materials.
Boom.
ps next musical monday in the language of my grandparents

Sometimes I think of myself as a volcano, but more in the destructive sense than in the creating lush new life sense. LOL. :)
What a cool place to have ancestry! And I always thought England was a big deal:)
I like this.
A LOT.
Destructive, energetic creation ... that might be my theme today ...
I really enjoy your posts! They are always so eloquent and thought provoking!
I have never considered my ancestors' terrain as impacting my heart and soul, but I'm sure you're right. It makes sense somehow. There's something sort of primal about it.
The volcanic eruption as a metaphor for creative juices bubbling over is wonderful.
I like it. I like the picture too. Can't wait for Monday!
i just popped over from "together for good."
my family is from the azores. from flores. i'm first generation american.
