Passengers travelling through east Africa are keeping a wary eye on a different ash cloud coming from the Horn of Africa.
In the meantime, the north east coast of Japan has been devastated by an earthquake of unprecedented force AND a tsunami of biblical power.
0 quake, Time Magazine writer, Margaret Gibbs, reminded us of the obvious, "No amount of planning, no skills or specs or spreadsheets, can stop a force that moves the planet.
78 millionin aid to the agricultural sectors ravaged by the deadly outbreak of E coli bacteria that has already claimed 37 lives.
We need to understand why all of this has nothing to do with either bad luck or divine punishment, just as we need to understand that all of this is absolutely man-made.
Until we do understand and until we action many, many plans to earnestly address what needs to be redressed from the inside/out, the deadly and costly roll-out of catastrophes and disasters will keep rolling us over.
unconditionally.

the Cosmos is making us accountable.
Back in May, while the BP spill was still spreading its oily ugliness across Florida's coastline and into the Mississippi delta, I concluded one of my articles with this thought: The forces of nature along with personal as well as separate/collective karma are going about the business of teaching us, mankind, essential lessons in spiritual survival with a single-mindedness similar to one who, stranded on an island, must break open coconuts with bare hands to get to the sweet milk within.
Separately and together, it would be best if we managed to rethink our thinking in regards to *science*, *progress* and *lifestyle* because the viability of personal options are narrowing, as we speak.
we [Iceland] have prepared.
'" [1] Right.
On the 7th of November 2010, on a lovely sunny Sunday somewhere in Australia, I read that international flights have been suspended to and from Indonesia and that Air Asia has cancelled 11 of its own because the activity of Mount Merapi, a volcano, a few hundred kilometres out of Jakarta, in Indonesia.
206 people have so far died.
000 more have fled their homes and the clean-up cost is counted in billions of dollars.
Indonesia has had an uneasy past and, to this day, corruption is rampant and costly.
No one can ever know why it has so far been the Indonesians' collective [inherited] karma to bear the brunt of these acts of god/nature but, knowing that disasters are not only aimed at the ones, victims and survivors who are directly affected, it certainly would not hurt if all government officials, big billionaires, little millionaires, business folks as well as us, little people, currently suffering from the GaD syndrome managed to wake up long enough to address our priorities and redress our M.
while we still can.
That monster wave, referred to as the Boxing Day tsunami, plucked 230,000 people off the coast line of fourteen neighboring countries.
Last month, also in Indonesia, on Mentawai island, a legendary destination for surfers, more than 400 people died including many children when the approaching giant wave failed to trigger alert warnings.
The reality of a sea storm on the famed Riviera is even more 'odd' when we know that on the littoral, the Mediterranean sea, unlike the Atlantic, is normally quite still.
The cost of repair, mostly of the sea front restaurants between Nice and Cannes, was estimated to be between 3 and 8 millions of Euros.
Contextualizing natural events, these so-called Acts of God, helps make meaning out of events that are occurring more frequently and with more intensity than in the past.
It's no different than saying that cancer is caused by the genetic mutation of cells while the real question is the one that precedes why have cells mutated in any one particular human being?
Also in May 2010: in Poland, village residents found themselves flooded by the Visla river.
Again, I remembered thinking, And then what?
As an aside, what I found symbolically interesting is that the Vista's swell reached all the way to the Auschwitz-Birkenau memorial site.
The death camp 'artefacts' were moved to higher grounds, which in itself suggests the symbolisms of Elevation and Purification.
It's either that or risk being flooded by them, swept away and left to drown in them - literally as well as figuratively.
One side-result of the catastrophe is that 99 cases of cholera have been detected since, and another is that there have been more than 3,000 cases of Dengue fever leading to 29 deaths, and counting.
In the face of more frequent natural and man-made disasters pockmarking our landscape, heart-in-mouth won't do.
Heart and soul would fare much better.
The waters of the famed *Blue Danube* have since become poisonous.

The residents of Kolontar, the area nearest the leaking reservoir, are due to return to their homes any day now.
Within the context of this article written for a readership interested in understanding day-to-day matters from a spiritual perspective, I think it is safe to say that this so-called protective wall symbolizes the hard wall that is around the heart of the industrial hunger we, as a consumerist society, keep feeding.
The city sustained NZ$ 4 billion worth of damage - a massive amount for any country of its size - but, again, the fortuitous lack of casualties points to the fact that nature knows well that the purse strings around our collective heart are knotted so tightly that the purse has to be slashed open.
Amazing what a difference one letter could make, if we paid attention.
