*This is a post I wrote ages ago…and I happen to stumble upon it recently..and I just wanted to add it in here*
Sitting by my window, watching the beauty of nature as it trickles down from heaven. I was told as a little girl that when it rains, it means that God is opening up heaven to shower the earth with more blessings….The sound of the rain hitting my window creates a peaceful feeling as I slowly begin to feel at ease…inhaling the fresh and moist air around me…and exhaling all the stress n tension in me. As I slowly begin to relax, I feel every inch of my body at total surrender and motionless. The rain somehow has the ability to reach down deep into the core of my feelings and captivate my soul…only to fill it with peace.
Unable to sit still, I quickly hurry down the stairs and out the front door. I didn’t have to worry about anybody watching me coz I was all alone at home and it was totally dark outside….hmmm…just me and the rain. I rush out to my garden, at first just drenching my hands…then I totally couldn’t resist the temptation to just get fully drenched. So there I was, feasting my soul with the one of the simplest source of nature. I just stood triumphantly letting everything go…all the tension, all the stress…everything. I was surprised at how good and magnificent it felt. I felt as if heaven was opening up to me…showering me with blessings. I looked up at the dark sky and smiled my widest smile, saying a silent prayer, thanking God for the moment….the moment which was dedicated totally to me. I let my hair loose; I was totally drenched now from head to toe. But I was extremely happy for the phenomenal experience of the rain. My heart danced with joy, my eyes shone bright…bright as a wild fire. My desires grew stronger; my soul was at ease…..finally…I sigh in relief.
I played for quiet sometime in the rain…..enjoying every single second of it. I even discovered how pretty the sky looks when it rains. To get a better view of the splendid sky, I lay on my back….with the rain splattering down my face. You could call me crazy…but believe me…it was the most spectacular sight. I was truly mesmerized by how wonderful God created nature for us.
The rain…..it filled me with contentment and opened up my mind to many more things in life. It taught me to have fun…to let go….to feel free. Through the rain, I gained a more peaceful self….and felt the power of letting go. The power of what lies deep within me….I managed to unleash the spirit which was slowly perishing and turned it into a wild fire. For many, the rain might just be bleak but to me….it was an amazing experience of self-discovery and a moment which I spent peacefully with God, nature and myself.
