Storms and natural disasters have a true way of telling a story, and from these stories, we try to create meaning out of events that occur in the past, present, and the future. What struck me were these hunger stones. These hunger stones communicated how the people of the Czech Republic were faced with years of drought, which was eventually carved into and expressed by these stones. These were not just carvings, instead, they were warnings that caught worldwide attention. This message could be interpreted as a sign to diminish these ecological disturbances and take a step back and look at nature's message. Humans need to reflect and analyze this drought threat just like when the coast is hit with a hurricane or the valley is hit with a tornado.
The portion of this article that states "Whoever sees me now will cry. We cried — We cry — And you will cry" this clear message proves that nature is something to nurture and if nature is in return neglected then you will be faced with its wrath. For the Czech Republic, it was five centuries of drought. God created the wind and the waters for mankind to take care of, and due to the sin on earth, he repaid the humans with a flood. The consequence of their sin was to "be sunken" for all they had done. But because Noah was seen as a servant to God he placed his trust in him. These passages and plays demonstrate the extremes of nature and what the medieval and ancient times interpreted these experiences as, this is something that humankind does quite often. We create stories and relationships between our lives and great storms to create meaning within these disasters.
