Always optimistic Tony.
The reed in the wind is a useful metaphor.
Neil Peart tells it like this:
Quote:
Like a solitary pine
On a bare wind-blasted shore
We can only grow the way the wind blows

Quote:
We can only grow the way the wind blows
On a bare and weathered shore
We can only bow to the here and now
In our elemental war
We can only grow the way the wind blows
We can only bow to the here and now
Or be broken down blow by blow

And like this:
Quote:
Like a forest bows to winter
Beneath the deep white silence
I will quietly resist
Like a flower in the desert
That only blooms at night
I will quietly resist
