Human Volcano







A human volcano is such an eruption of emotions and thoughts that can be churning, stewing for days, weeks, months or even years and yet can be ignored until it actually erupts. The human volcano can involve family, friends even strangers. It can be created from past remorse, regrets, grudges or a feelings of helplessness when you are in the mist of seeing someone you love slip away.
 Once the human volcano  finally erupts, you can not avoid some kind of effect of it's power of emotions.  You feel such an over powering whelm of emotional reactions and feelings all at one time depending who is the actual volcano.  Shock, anger, weaknesses, frustration, and even some kind of denial  are spurted out  like red-hot steamy molting lava.  Then comes the raising of voices and frankness like the huge molten rocks flying right at you and  because we aren’t ready to deal with the matter at hand the defense shield starts to rise up  as the stewing of emotional lava spuds out of control. It feels like even though things can't get any worse, they do as the human volcano continues to erupt.  However, after all is said and done and the aftermath of the human volcano looses it's steam and heat, you look around to see what damage it may have caused and start the healing process. The key now is to restore peace and unity to all who was involved in the eruption.  It is through communication, love, patience, compassion by all who were in involved with the eruption. To look at ourselves and our faults so we can improve who we are and what we can be.   To take constructive criticism to  improve ourselves and see our own reflections of our life.  Sometimes, it takes a human volcano to shake us up and peel off all the armor we surround ourselves with to protect us from getting to the real issues at hand.  I am grateful for human volcanoes because at the end of it, we have an opportunity to share the love we have for one another and not take anyone or anything for granite.  We need to cherish our time together as a family and to grow with the love we can give and receive from one another.
