When storms move in

Threaten me. Save me.

The skies threatened last night as the leading edge of a continent-spanning storm moved into our region.

Not too far to our south, millions of Americans hunkered down for a night of tornado warnings and fear.

By the time darkness fell, the threat north of the border had degraded to little more than sleep-interrupting thunderstorms, but it was still sobering to realize how thin the line has now become.

So while the dog sniffed for treasure in the soaked grasses below, I watched a single bare tree blow in the strengthening winds. And I was struck by the duality of the scene, of a sky that both threatens the very existence of the tree, yet provides all the ingredients for it to grow in the first place.

And still, despite it all, the tree stretches to the sky.
