Resiliency through a storm
Typhoon Ompong brought havoc alright, though its' aftermath was as calm and sunny. Everywhere I've looked has shown destruction on its' path. That and resiliency.
This Makopa tree have always stood tall in our backyard, first against a fire that demolished 2 houses years ago, leaving a huge gaping hole throughout her main trunk, showing just its' skeleton. Now, after this 250kph wind, it remains standing, tall and resilient.

Friend @immarojas, the important thing is that tin well, the material damages are recovered little by little with the help of God. Perhaps Typhoon Ompong, is a teaching to grow and learn new things and be stronger and be like the tree that has endured everything. A hug.
You're probably right. Asia as the most recipient of typhoons and stuff has grown resilient in every storm, tsunami, tornado.
The Philippines' new government is more pro-poor than the previous one so we are hopeful that there's help where it needs to come from...our very own government.
Cheers!
God wants the government to help the poor recover some or all of what they lost and to support the farmers to plant again. A government must govern for the people and then we would have better nations, happiness.
Ideally..but i have faith on the present government, our president. Some are still corrupt though which he is trying to solve.
Some in position are against him.
This tree will regrow, and so will your neighborhood. Please keep sharing your experience. Truth, good or bad, is always valued by those who care.
That's nice thanks a lot. Truth hurts but enlightening😊☺
that is one very impressive tree @immarojas. If it were mine I might be tempted to cut off some of the dead branches and see if it comes to life again. 😊
All done the following day Gillian..sorry, my earlier reply didn't go through. I've only seen it now.
Great minds think alike @immarojas. 😁
I think so too Gillian..any meet-up soon??
There was a meet-up last Friday @immarojas but it was in the evening so I couldn't go. The one before was in the evening too and they are now in East London which takes a lot longer to get to.
So, if they stay like that, I won't be able to go anymore. 😢
Awww i think we should have one where you are? Or a decent hour like in wholefoods?
Am so sorry to hear that Gillian...we'll make one don't worry..me saying while am here🤣😂
If none...we'll have lunch or coffee somewhere.
How far is Brighton?
Brighton is about 50 minutes by train from London @immarojas.
There has been much talk about organising one here but we've not managed it so far.
I'm OK about it. I've got used to not being able to go now.
One day, there may be some Steemians locally. That would be good. Although, by then, I may have moved on. 😂
Most probably Gillian...it's a shame though☺
Es triste @immarojas ver como por efecto del Tifón ha dejado solo destrucción y desolación a su paso. Y tal vez nosotros los seres humanos tengamos la culpa por los daños que causamos por culpa del calentamiento global
Sad and heartbreaking.
