Thunder & lightning
Posted by ashthor on July 30, 2009
There was a discussion a little while ago about thunder & lightning in the past, present and future.
Remembering the thunder & lightning in the past as rather impressive events and treated with respect and awe.
Remembering that when we in 1963 moved from a southern town to a more northern town it seems to have more thunder & lightning, we still treated it with the respect as one should do, with this kind of nature’s magnificent events.
Up to the present days when in short time there has been two lightning strikes – one on a golf course and one on a soccer ground. The first one deadly, and the second is still in debate between the doctors and the masters above.
Our discussion ran along the line whether man was growing reckless, thinking we do as we please, and do it regardless of that nature is a powerful force, not to taken lightly.
Only fools
defy a true force of nature
thunder and lightning

Interesting post Ashi. I wrote a haiku about this recently. It still scares me a little, and I think that’s probably a good thing. Sometimes mankind thinks it is too all powerful and that’s when nature attacks!
