The Storm

The storm arrives to lift everything that is lying too still for too long.
It is the tower that sways uncontrollably over a wobbly structure.
It is the biting wind sweeping the garden and breaking the branches.
Heavy clouds are crashing together revealing despairs as loud as the thunder. 
It is a dark time that produces brief yet powerful lightnings of insight.
The storm scares, shakes and destroys to clear up the space and teach us the power of surrender.
But it also rains on the ground fertilizing the soil with dreams and discoveries that the disaster produced.
Out of the destruction there will come a solid foundation to grow the beauties and the treasures of the garden.
