“the cyclone ends. the sun returns; the lofty coconut trees lift up their plumes again;
man does likewise. the great anguish is over; joy has returned; the sea smiles like a child.”

Late to reply to this but the sun is indeed shining brightly again – there will be cloudy day and some storms as well, but nature has taken charge again and we will have much better sailing ahead…
