The word "earthquake" comes from the Latin "terrae motu (m)", the movement of the earth.

A sudden event that spreads and shakes something from its foundation. Like the earth, we too are in constant motion.

As the rock masses accumulate energy to a breaking point, the causes and effects of daily actions determine the course of our existence.

There is no difference between a collective catastrophe and a personal one. Stages and consequences are similar.

In Japanese philosophy, the spontaneous flow of time towards inevitable events is a necessary process that leads to the discovery of true beauty. 

The fullness of life derives from the acceptance of its impermanence.

Despite earthquakes of life are multiple, sudden, and destructive, we are instinctively inclined to survive, to see the white of an empty page as an incentive to fill it, and to follow that thread that leads in the only direction possible: forward.
