I think this news is very welcome, encouraging, even comforting at this time. It is inspiring for me to see this transformation, and gives me hope for the earth.

I loved TO THE LIGHTHOUSE, but I don’t remember Woolf reflecting on the resilience of nature. I would love to see such a passage from that book. Thanks for mentioning it.

This is very good news for the Earth. Didn’t Virginia Woolf similarly imagine the resilience of nature in fiction in To The Lighthouse?

April, thanks for the good news. Several years ago I was visiting Yellowstone and saw a video of the eruption of Mt. Helens. It was beyond terrifying! What was left was truly desolate at the time. Mother nature is amazing!

Hi April, How silly of anyone to think it would “never recover!” Are there ANY such sites around the world that have never recovered? Nah, life persists. In fact, today I was wondering if Mother Nature had ever created her own “oil leaks” in the ocean by way of earthquakes. Considering the time scale since the oil was laid down, it seems reasonable.
