| the calm after the storm |
in the few days of summer we have, the last thing i want is for there to be rain. ...especially rain of the magnitude we had this morning in ny. it forces you to rearrange your outfit to be waterproof or, even worse, you get caught unprepared in the downpour. public transportation runs late; there's traffic everywhere. either way, it sometimes ruins the day. ...but then, when i take a second to step back from all the little inconveniences that it causes, it's hard to ignore the healing properties that rain has for the earth as well as for us. it cleanses away the dirt and grime. it cools down the heat and dispels humidity. it helps flowers to grow and gives water to the animals. it refills our reservoirs, lakes and streams. there are many people praying for rain for all these very reasons...
...so today, instead of being annoyed by the wet weather, i am going to be thankful. thankful for the cleansing and calm it brings. ...but i sure hope it's bright, warm and sunny tomorrow!! lol :)
