I am lying in bed, listening to the rain fall softly. The world smells clean, reborn in a way, and covered in innocence. It is moments like these when I feel the most connected to my spiritual self. My body aches to be caressed by cold, crisp rain drops. My soul becomes calm. My mind opens to scripture and I can explore the depths of my emotions without fear of falling apart. It's my favorite time to burn candles or oils. Occasionally I will light incense and bow my head in prayer. I feel energy surging through me...I feel alive.
The sweet smell of rain opens my mind to creative hopes and dreams. I believe I am true to myself in these moments when time stands still. There are no expectations, no responsibilities, and no unwanted pressures. I can experience every feeling inside me. I am not broken...I am not alone. Even though pain comes for me, I can let it go.
