A Tale of Two Opposite Runs

A menacing, darkening cloud sweeps in from the east, with flashing lightning, deafening thunder, and biting rains, threatening to engulf the harbour. 

A couple of boats stream towards the still-bright west, seemingly fleeing from the pall. 

In the mean time, a lone boat drives towards the dark east, seemingly braving the impending doom. 

Two very different ways to deal with the same threatening situation.   Somehow, it reminds me of how we deal with challenges in life.
