I sit quietly by the window listening to the rain. The rain is like music in that it can be soft and gentle, soothing to the soul, a gentle song that will make you close your eyes and drift off to dreams. It can be fast like a driving beat full of thunder and fury. It makes you pause and reflect upon the joy it brings, the flowers, and the birds. It can be a torrent, savage with power and loudness. It makes you put your book down and look in awe at its magnificence.
The power and sound can make you fearful that it may sweep you away, yet after a while, the rain will stop.
The air will smell clean, the flowers refreshed, and the birds return to feed. The cycle of the rain reflects the cycle of our own life. Let us embrace the Lifecycle that we may know life to its fullest.
Point Of View
Life is a cycle of joy and sorrow, success and failure, heartbreak and love. This cycle allows us to live a life of learning and experience so that we may live life to its fullest yet not be afraid to dream our dreams.
I love the rain too but yesterday the sky’s were lit up with anger and the wind did blow. It was like God shouting. I much prefer the gentle patter of rain on the rooftop to sit and mediate to.
I hear you. We have one of the gods fighting in the sky kind of night. Powerful imagery indeed!!!
I really like your views on life cycles Larry. There is always something to be learnt and experienced. Some we enjoy some we don’t. Yet we learn and grow more wiser.
Thank you my dear friend. I am grateful for your insights
Thank you my dear friend. I am grateful for your insights.
I find comfort in the rain. I love the bright sunny days but sometimes the rain gives me the pass to sit quietly and reflect out the window cuddled in a blanket sipping coffee.
Absolutely my friend
