I had just written about a tree brocken by the wind [1]. So this is a very current topic.
柔弱勝剛強。
Soft and weak will overcome hard and strong.
… says the Daodejing (道德經).
Raging storm
The strong are falling
But the penitent survives
After the storm
We collect the broken
Kintsugi [2]
Winter storm
Rattling in the shingles
Trees stand in awe
In the elm trees
Storm rolling and rumbling
Gathering twigs
Clashing raindrops
The storm whistles a tune
Of destruction
Storm rushes on
Leaving behind
Fear and debris
