with more people taking no pay leave and schools still closed, a seaside promenade is now full of people even during weekday p.m. . families with kids, joggers, bikers, people fishing…
yet when it rains, the whole place is very different.
one can almost have it all to run / sit
i was blessed with light rain this p.m .thus able to enjoy exercising a while along the promenade and at the pier overlooking the sea, no more smokers, people fishing, though still a few people yelling…
the tranquility and space belong to those who dare / persist / well prepared / don’t mind…
thanks for some water proof clothing i was able to enjoy quiet moments of moving and sitting / eating / chanting… very much alone, outdoor, feeling light rain falling on the face like showering of abundance…
i always enjoy listening to rain. and it is a very healing / soothing experience walking quietly alone in open areas when it rains. .. esp. with trees, birds.. around.
may we all find joy and peace regardless of externals.
great training indeed for full acceptance of what is and, how we can still create wonderful moments.
