Sitting outside of the house as I type. The afternoon rain is starting to let up and has left everything wet and cooler than it was during the warm humid morning. All is refreshed. My mind as well; seems like I think clearer when the weather gets cooler and the day gets darker. Nothing against the day, its the quiet stillness of the evening and night that can make anyone be more introspective... right?
Seems as though I am finding more peace with each passing day. More peace of my place here on this big plot of land that I have got all to myself- and the rain pours down again.
Away from home. Away from much control. I see that I have been here before. I used to think that I'm missing out on a lot. But more now its seeing how I have deafened myself to what is around me in this town. That loose restraint that I felt keeping me tied down and from moving around... I have discovered it to be a comfort embrace. An embrace for strength. An embrace for peace. An embrace of love. It is in the stillness of keeping still that you can receive it all. In keeping myself low and hollow, that is how I can feel that powerful embrace that my God wants to give me. And in that embrace is when I see and feel that He is really all I need- and the rain has let up again.
