Embracing What Is True Will Set You Free

The rain comes to show you the power of grace. Instead of running from it, umbrella in hand, why not appreciate what it is here to teach you.
We do nothing to create the rain or the sun. We do nothing to help wild flowers grow. We do nothing to change the color of leaves in the fall.
However, we can enjoy them. We can learn to be grateful for them. We can exercise our ability not to label them good or bad. Positive or negative. And simply open up our awareness to the beauty that is all around us.
The problem I have is constantly trying to create my future or bring myself closer to a spiritual experience. This is a fool’s errand.
Just as the flowers do not create the rain that sustains their life. We as people do not create our beauty.
It is innate.
All we have to do is open ourselves up to this simple truth and embrace the storms of life, knowing that within them is the material we need to grow.
So, if it is raining where you are today, take the time to open the window and listen to the drops of life falling outside. Get up and outside. Run and sing in the rain. Teach yourself to appreciate what most people despise.
Because when you can learn to do that the whole world becomes your playground.
