“Then why is it my heart was lost along the way?
I was standing in a foreign city. People were screaming in a language I couldn’t understand. Everyone was running around, with no real direction, rushing to find a safe place.
I could feel their fear, their hopelessness, and their utter dread. There were dead faces - some burned to charcoal - staring up at me from the pavement while a cloud of ash rained down from a nightmarish sky. I looked around to see what it was they were all running from. Was it another 9-11 attack?
My lungs battled to draw in air, choking on the last breath of ash I’d just inhaled. I was so shocked by what I saw, I couldn’t even cough. The stench of rotten eggs filled the air. Above us were dark, evil clouds - a mass of swirling blackness where the edges were dark red fading into the brightest yellow. The heavens were on fire.
I was caught in the middle of a volcanic eruption!
