On Revolutions, Tectonic Plates and Oil Prices




The price of oil has risen dramatically over the past few months. Oil prices have shot up 20% since December 2010 and are more than double what they were in 2005. What role, if any, has civil unrest in the Middle East and the Japanese tsunami’s aftermath played in this price increase?

Making sense of life

We are, therefore, divided by two great forces,
Our development shaped dualistically,
Our existence, binarily.
Divided by life and death,
Heaven and hell,
Right and wrong,
Positive and negative,
Light and darkness.
What lies in between lives in our memories.
Like a bridge that floats
Isolated from it's destination.

Where time and space intersect,
Where man and nature interact,
Where land and sea meet,
When semen and ovary combine,
The potency of the Divine is witnessed,
No void exists then.
The spirit of life continues to live in linear form.
We do not evolve, nor do we progress.
We merely peel off the next layer
Of what has already been crafted for us.

The magic of life is the experience;
Its tragedy: not being able to make sense of it.
