lessons learned from volcanic ash

Over here in Europe, the world has literally come to a standstill. No one can fly out or in, people are stranded and away from their loved ones... and the cancellation of my birthday trip to Mallorca tomorrow morning is imminent. All of this from a volcano eruption in Iceland?!?!

Makes you think... we humans like to believe we are in control of our lives, that we have tamed nature into a civilized world. Well guess what? We are not God. This reminder from Eyjafjallajokull dumbfounded the airline industry and the world. For me it is a reminder that I need to trust the one who created everything and let that be enough.

Besides, with weather like we are having in Paris, it is hard to complain.
