Lessons in rain

We keep thinking that, because of the symbolic rains and deep storms in our lives it has made us bitter, angry, upset about life. And we somehow think that is ok.

Yet, flowers and plants (and entire forests) have experienced deep rains and storms, and what have they done with it?

They use it to grow. To start new life. To flourish. To begin again; to let the rain and storms pass over them and be rejuvenated.

Hmm.

And what do we, humans, who are pretty much proven to more complex than a simple houseplant, do?

We let the rain and storms make us bitter, angry, powerless, depressed, and hopeless.

Hmm.

May be time to rethink the definition of rain.
