Sudden Storm

Nature is such a reflection of life if we sit and notice the distinct similarities. We have all witnessed the flash storm suddenly upon us.

We comment how it “came out of nowhere” yet all the signs the storm was coming were blatantly happening for quite some time.

The sudden shift in the wind, the darkness in the distance, hell we’ve all got some app that’s telling us it’s on the way. Somehow, regardless of our knowing, we step outside and often walk right into it.

Once we’re soaked to the bone, now needing to clean up a mess we could have easily avoided by just waiting a little bit for the storm to blow itself away on its own, we reflect on it with a comment like, “wow, that was stupid. I walk right into it.”

Life often brings a storm into our path. Our responses to it are in themselves the choices that offer rich learning and growth. We may walk into a rainstorm again in the future but maybe next time, we’ll at least bring an umbrella...
