Elementally Speaking - Q&A

Q: About the recent volcanic eruptions that are causing so much chaos; is this Mother Nature trying to tell us something or just a natural progression of Nature?

Times are relative and changes are made when they are needed. As in your world many things bring about changes needed to survive. Be it a change in your daily routine, diet or exercise, each are needed to maintain the self. Thus it is true in Nature's exactness as well.
When the Mother, as some see her, releases pent up energy it is not a ploy to bring about changes nor is it a sudden burst of inspiration given over to news media on her behalf. None the less taken in this vain it is indeed useful if not altogether false.
Mother Nature or Gaia at this point in the planets evolution has built up pressure which must be released in order to survive. This happens within ranges of time and thus is not readily understood. Many have felt this before in other lifetimes, civilizations and progressive occurrences and have adapted as well.
When this interferes with life as your species knows it one must always search for the reason. Yet the Mother herself is what is at stake and thus must vent in order to survive. This is fact. It shall continue until the internal pressure and the outside pressure equalizes.
