  • Thunderstorms

    There's something about them that makes me feel uneasy, scared, and vulnerable, especially when I'm out in the open. They make me feel exposed. Exposed to the elements. Exposed to something that I have no control over.  I feel small and powerless in the face of thunderstorms. I guess it's because they make me realize that no matter how big and grand we might think we are, at the end of the day, we're just a tiny speck on the surface of the much larger universe, living our lives at the mercy of nature. Powerlessness; a dangerous feeling - even more so than the real danger of thunderstorms itself.
