I felt some sharp pains in my side earlier this afternoon. At around 5:20 this evening a magnitude 6.4 earthquake struck east of Papua New Guinea. Otherwise it has been very quiet out there lately. I'm thinking about how different my life would be on a tectonic plate boundary, such as when I finally go to Japan. The system of alert modes I use on Twitter and as headers on those blog posts would be different as I would be more focused on the activity around the region. Back in California, I still was aware of the seismic activity elsewhere in the world. In fact, I tracked it religiously then too. I was just mostly focused on activity around the area I was in - within a 100-mile(160 kilometres) or so radius. Even though that energy could be overwhelming at times where there were periods of no seismic activity at all, I was probably more well-off there physically. I noticed that tracking earthquakes from all over the world in the middle of a tectonic plate can be draining along with the other things I have going on in my life. I'm trying to make sense of what may be going on with my body. It can be confusing as well as scary. I get worried about my blood flow. I feel like I'm being pulled in many different directions and it can be taxing. I hypothesize that this may end up weakening my blood vessels where I could later on be at risk for an aneurysm when I finally go somewhere invigorating. I can only pray and do whatever I can to not delay traveling much longer.
