"The wolf couldn't withstand the storm. The wind was too strong, the lightning was too close, and the ground beneath my feet shook like a heart. He's on the ground. Not for lack of courage, but from the weight of everything the sky was carrying. But even so, he didn't turn back. He didn't give up. He raised his head to the dark clouds and, with a tense look and tears in his eyes, he said: It's not over yet!!" wrote the Pole.

The metaphor of the "wolf and the storm" summarizes his stance in the face of defeat: beaten, but not broken.

"For though the storm impeded his progress, it could not break his path. Deep within his heart, the flame still burns, and it is this flame that guides him further, through the wind, through the night, through uncertainty. The wolf did not pass through the storm, but the storm did not break him either." Mateusz gamrot.
