The world's natural wonders are born from violent crashes. There are bursts in which you feel the anger behind these interactions. It manifests in earthquakes, fault lines, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions. But there is beauty, too. Jaw-dropping mountain ranges rise from the collisions, new life forms are pushed to the sea's surface, and separation forms lava trenches that warm even the coldest depths of the ocean. We can learn a lesson from tectonic plates: there is pain in this world. That pain can make you angry, shaky, destructive. And you can take that pain and turn it into something beautiful.
