This is my entry for #monomad challenge by
Croce Arcana is a pass between Emilia and Tuscany (Italy).
It is the place with the record of strongest wind in Italy, and this wind sometimes freezes all things.
I think in nature there isn't dichotomy between good and bad: in nature all things are useful and they have all a specific purpose. Also the snow and the ice creates beauty and prepare the earth to the warm season.
A friend of mine, a farmer, has told to me: under the snow there is the bread: after a good snowfall, the harvest under the land, will be more probably good.
The same for 'human' war: there isn't a bad and a good line-up, usually the war is a fight against two different powers and visions of the world, and it doesn't exist a 'good' power. In every war, all parts will lose. Not the same in nature: nature doesn't need a war, nature knows only the right balance.
And icy arm hugs a pole with a barbed wire:
