Today was a normal, sunny, hot summer afternoon. There was a stillness and peace in the air until, suddenly, fury.
The skies sheathed the earth in darkness, and torrents of wind and rain punished trees and their branches. A drum-like beat echoed through my ears as hail pounded the roof. Nature’s mighty crescendo continued to rise when, suddenly, stillness returned.
We are at the mercy of something greater than ourselves.
