THE ARC OF A STORM
All storms have a story. Forces gather until they reach a tipping point and the storm is born. The storm begins to have implications for everyone in its path.
If you are lucky enough to have shelter, storms can be wonderful opportunities to stop and have a soulful time. You feel safe, warm and dry, while you gaze outside at the opposite.
You find moments and places you haven’t considered in a long time.
You mellow and melt into whatever you find most comforting.
You fill your belly with rustic warmth.
And tumble softly back to childhood.
You welcome losing power, because you gain a new perspective.
You connect with what matters most while the storm outside carries on.
And when the clouds break, you can ease on in and get ready...
To get out and see the beauty that the storm left behind.
