Mt. St. Helens

August, 2002

I couldn't take my eyes off of Mt. St. Helens. The museum was lost on me as were the other tourists. The size of the mountain and the pure devastation that it caused is almost incomprehensible.

It was here, for the first time that I realized the power and domination of this planet. We are but passing ants on the earth's surface; from a distance we are all the same, seemingly running in all sorts of random directions, however together can influence and change the planet. Unfortunately, we often times gather together to change it for our benefit, to use it, but in the end the planet will still win.
