I was walking through a thunderstorm and the rain was soaking me as I did. I was out enjoying the sunshine one minute then bang the sky began to darken and the clouds folded in on one another as they became blacker and blacker. I knew I was going to get stuck in the rain but kept on walking never slowing or stopping in the hope I could out run the storm that was gathering around me.
I was trying to make it home before the storm arrived but was caught out and found myself walking through torrential rain as I continued to fight the bad weather as I continued to head home to the safety and shelter it would afford me. I was driven to make my journey through the storm so I didn’t get caught up in it any longer than I had to be.
Suddenly, a cloud shifted and a beam of sunlight shone down upon me as the rain ceased for a few moments making me smile as the light made me glow and the heat from the sun dried me for a few minutes reprieve. I was able to experience the weather at its best and worst and enjoyed feeling the warmth it provided me.
Then it closed back up and the rain came again as I rushed to get to the safety of my house. I was now cold and wet again but I knew that at any moment I could find myself bathed in that beautiful light and feel the heat as the sun warmed my skin.
Sometimes we face a storm but in order to get through it you have to keep going and not stop to try and avoid it.
