Dance in the Rain

I love nature.

Watching it in action,

the little movements,

the subtle instincts.

It doesn't worry about tomorrow

tomorrow takes care of itself.

It doesn't fret over yesterday’s shelter or what it will wear tomorrow.

Nature stays with what is.

These birds, trusting the ground beneath them,

embracing the food that’s provided right here, right now.

They seem to know that all is well…

or if not well, then just as it should be.

No fighting. No resisting.

I caught a glimpse of this in real-time.

Geese moving through the rain like no big deal.

While I was right beside them, on the golf course,

doing everything I could to stay dry,

frustrated that the skies opened up on hole 13!

While, they just kept going,

completely unfazed, at peace.

And in that stillness, I felt a tiny nudge.

A shift in perception.

Embrace what is.

Cease fighting.

Maybe even find a moment

to dance in the rain!
