Even Enormous Beings Can Crumple
A humongous tree abruptly goes down
Walking by the street
Listening to the birds chirping
Having friendly dogs with me
Seems that everything is going to be better
Yet I turn to one of my favorite spots
There is chaos
A humongous tree has fallen down
A light post is also down because of it
Together with electric cables
It’s a one of a kind scene
People are already preparing to fix everything
Chopping down this old tree they start
Suddenly everything seems so fragile
This giant tree was blown down
The wind was stronger
Can we be stronger than the wind…
When it’s defying us?

I decided to write about today's feelings because I’ve recently watched the news and it's harsh. Every day there is a new natural disaster, a new war, a new COVID outbreak, etc. My walking excursion of today made me reflect on lots of things.
Just imagine, I suddenly found this great big tree that had fallen down in a boulevard next to my house. That situation marked me, even if it was little.
I thought that everything could change in a second, the fallen tree represented that change. But even though we all have changes, we have to appreciate what we have in life. We can mark those changes, good or bad, and hope for the best.
Seems like the world is tearing itself apart…What can we do but live the moment to the fullest?
