It’s a year since we experienced the 7.1 magnitude earthquake. More than 8000 aftershocks have followed since that early morning wake up call. The daily shakes just tend to make the house and land damage more pronounced. What was once solid is now unstable.

Nature has taken the reins and calls all the shots. It is, afterall, what nature does wonderfully, naturally. We humans are merely here for the annual free trip round the sun. We do not drive this vehicle, we ride in the back of the bus, blind to the wonders of the forces beneath us.
