Deep brooding moods, difficult choices, rolling thunder of arguments. Many would have turned and walked away, away from the storm. Somewhere, somehow, I could see a glimmer of light beyond the towering clouds; I chose to embrace the storm and move forward towards that faint glimmer. It certainly wasn't easy, but I did find sunlight and warmth on the other side. This particular storm in this photo had lasted for a few hours. I was able to race out to an empty dirt road and catch the storm as it moved on.
