Agony/Ecstasy

Imagine a tumultuous storm. Hurricane force winds and tsunami-esque storm surges riled to existentially murderous proportions. Coastlines disintegrated in seconds, with receding sand the only sign of once-vibrant communities. A devastation so widespread that a nation of child-crying is but another utterance of desolation.

Imagine a refreshing breeze. Fluttering leaves beside a rippling pond stirred to serenely amusing proportions. Refreshment for masses arriving by its shores. A peace so profound that a nation of child-sighing delight is but another utterance of tranquility.

Two sittings. Two experiences. Two perceptions of Reality, dragons twisting around a flagpole.
