Storms: Before and After

This morning at 5:00am I awoke to the sound of a strong spring storm. The room flashed full of light and then the thunder rolled in...the wind pushed at the windows and the downpour roared against the roof. It was wonderful, cleansing, powerful, releasing. Before storms arrive--the external weather-related kind or the internal, emotional kind--there's always a build-up in the atmosphere: things unsaid, emotions unclaimed, energy cells stagnating. The force of the storm pushes away the stalled or stuffed energy, moving through as a living force and releasing what's real, what's new, what needed to come out. Now we can have spring. Thank God. :) k
