As I sit here on my deck with my coffee, I am watching the rain come barreling down. The sound is a constant pound on the ground and the sky is nothing but gray. It's actually peaceful. No people, no cars, just the rain doing what it does. It's soothing to just sit and watch the shy open up and let the rain wash over the earth.
I start to contemplate (as I aways do) about how mother nature's events compare to our individual lives. The dark clouds, opening of the sky and the rain coming down reminds me of how sometimes our emotional skies build up and when they can't hold any more, they pour all over our life. The events, struggles, responsibilities, and stresses of life build up and our emotional skies open up and pound down on us, leaving us feeling saturated, heavy and weary. It casts a shadow over us that is gray and the clouds are as far as the eyes can see. But in reality, it is a blessing. The rain has come to wash away the dirt, chemicals and pollen. It is watering the trees, grass and plants to help them grow and become healthier. The clouds are only passing by and the sun is on its way.
At times life saves all of our troubles until we can no longer push them away or ignore them. But when we turn our back or we chose not to deal with them head on, the skies begin to open up and we find ourselves dealing with a down pour of emotions. It may be heavy and it may be overwhelming, but it is actually a blessing in disguise. The "rain" has come to wash away our troubles, help us grow and help us become stronger. Most importantly, the sun will come out and sometime's there will even be a rainbow. Trust the process.
Everything that happens to us brings a lesson and a clearing. It's to help us become stronger and grow. In order to see clearly, sometimes it has to rain or maybe even pour. But we have to go through it to get through it and it will always pass. Listen to the rain when times get tough and your emotional skies open up. It is here to clear away what you no longer need. Let it happen. Learn the lesson and you will grow stronger every time.
