Deeply Rooted

“Thank you,” she smirked.
“Intensity is a compliment.
I need to root myself
in something organic,
because your pre-fab life
will not withstand
life’s storms.
And darling,
life is nothing,
but a storm.”

    Have you ever read Murakami’s storm quote? Life is indeed just a storm.

      I have read that before, but I didn’t realize who said it.

      I live in tornado alley, where most years, we see tornadoes 3-5 miles wide! The aftermath looks like entire portions of the city were bombed. This is no comparison to life. Life is crazy, beautiful, powerful, random, and a force to be reckoned with!
