Hawaii's Big Island is erupting...volcanic fissures, Guatemala's Fuego is erupting, many dead many unaccounted for, a black hole in space is erupting, a star disappeared, ripped apart. It is alarming, no cause for a smiley. This is serious business, our planet and our galaxy, the universe.

I'm listening to John Coltrane right now, lucky me that my stereo is not erupting.

* There are many other news also that make a lot of people erupting; I'm sure you all are in the current flow of the affairs.

Places on earth erupting is only important to some earthings.

A star blowing up may only be important to life forms in that star's solar system.

In the universe, one star less than the estimated 10^24 stars in the universe (that's more than a mole of stars) won't even be noticed and other new stars will be born.

There is a time and place for everything. Nothing lasts forever.
