Volatility

Most life confronts the forces of nature and experiences them as a volatility which must be carefully anticipated and navigated. Here we have discovered that concrete and steel can fix nature in place, and lead and steel cleave it away, but the volatility never quite goes away. Instead it turns up wherever one presses down upon or cleaves apart nature the hardest and most intensely. All is in circulation, even when - and perhaps especially when - it appears to be still.
