Incognito Volcano
Damn, how intense my excitement has become over the last few days, waiting with bated breath for Mayon to explode. What better parallel in the natural world to my own personal fate than this relatively incognito volcano, this nobody of a mountain in the middle of nowhere, now suddenly shuddering to life with exhilaration, overflowing with potential, set to do its thing "within days".
Days! After millenia in the making, gradually formed in the crucible of time and pressure, coupled in the meantime with a lot of sleeping, groaning, and otherwise being useless—now!, now time to storm unto the planet, redefine the landscape with little warning, emit tons of gaseous fumes in the process, and then yawn gently back into a deep, peaceful slumber.
