This Too Shall Pass

This morning, I woke to loud crashes and bright lights outside my bedroom window.  Loving to watch thunderstorms from the confines of a secure building, I opened my window shade and watched the rain pelt my window and the flashes of light criss-cross the sky.  What power.  What majesty.  What amazement that our weather can be both beautiful and destructive simultaneously.

Checking the weather, I realized this was a moment of rain.  The doppler radar, (I openly admit to being in love with), showed it was just a green/red/orange splotch of color right over my town and that there was no color 10 miles in all direction.  Then the voice came and reminded me, this too shall pass.

I've been learning to embrace this mantra for quite some time.  This too shall pass.  How applying it in the moment of seemingly complete destruction and overwhelment, allows myself to be brought back into the present moment where overall, my life is pretty wonderful and view the current situation in perspective.  This too shall pass.  Applied to relationships, financial experiences even physical body ailments is all true.  This too shall pass.

When breathing from the present moment, and making decisions that are not reactionary based only on the current turmoil is a gift that we give ourselves.  The gift of love from ourselves and Spirit.  Spirit knows all and knows that this too shall pass, but love will always remain.
