Storms – both literal and figurative, leave in their wake destruction and chaos. They bring howling and lashing winds that uproot trees and sweep away natural and man-made structures that are not secured in their moorings. Their torrential rains bring flood and landslides that cause severe damage to lives and properties.

And yet, there is beauty amidst the ugliness of storms. In the clutter left after the landslides and the floods, man realizes that there should have been more trees to hold the rains in check; that our waterways should not be clogged with garbage… Storms are but nature’s protests against the wanton ways of mankind.

Storms test the quality of manmade structures. The weak ones go down and the strong ones endure. As do the figurative storms that enter our lives. Only the robust and the true survive.

Storms are cleansing. In their aftermath, we put order back in a newly bathed world - a world that offers countless possibilities for rebuilding to a better life. We have weathered the storms of the past week. Filipinos all over the country united as one, to help one another. It takes storms to do these. And therein lies their beauty – in the chance they give for fresh beginnings.
