"A Small View of Chile"

"I'd swim the ocean for you. Lol jk, there are sharks in there." -Anon.

Last night,

I had just finished reading the chapters

in the scriptures

which described the natural disasters

the natives endured before Christ's coming . . .

when my bed began to tremble violently.

In reflection,

the water belongs to the fish,

the air to the bird . . .

so when the ground that belongs to you

refuses to let you walk freely upon it,

your world,

quite literally,

flips topsy-turvy,

and you realize how very fragile,

how very small you are.

Earthquakes. Gosh.

If I'm being completely honest,

it was the single most terrifying

AND the most thrilling thing

I have yet experienced,

all five seconds of it.

{PS: Nothing broke.}
