“So we wait out storms sometimes to be reminded of their power to isolate, though there is always another side. After that summer night, no storm in or out of nature ever threatened me as much, because Sibbhon’s dismissal of me was also a recognition of my tenacity, or foolhardiness—the nature of one willing to strike through upheaval for the other side, knowing now that there is another side and knowing, too, what is waiting there: always another survivor.”
