a storm of refuge

As I sit here, looking out my window at the beautiful skyline across my view of this lovely city, the rain is pouring down, flooding the streets with a million tears. But somehow those tears are not so negative, as we often associate the connotation of that word in our real lives. These tears are flooding this city with life and somehow, the rain outside my window captures a calm that we sometimes need for whatever reason that may be. It could be a celebration, a preparation for the next step in our lives, or perhaps just clearing your head and understanding your thoughts. And in this storm I know that I am happy in my life, that all is coming together, that the truth always needs to be told, that emotions should be let lose and acknowledged, and in those we find peace and happiness. This storm is cleansing us, keeping us sane and all at once engulfing us in what is coming next, preparing us for something that we'll remember for always.
