It hasn’t rained like this for a while. But today it did, and it was a welcome change.

I love when it rains because it fills me with a sense of peace. There is nothing that calms quite like a rainy day, no experience that can really compare to an unhurried morning of watching raindrops fall and quietly listening to the rain. I drank untold amounts of jasmine green tea and was reminded of how to be still again. It was a much needed reminder, in truth; things happen when you are still. Life becomes more beautiful. The world seems to open up in mysterious ways that are strangely familiar. There is a language of the universe that finds its way to your heart.

And maybe it sounds funny to you, but I think it’s one of those things that you have to feel to understand. And I think you also have to believe a little that the universe is alive and God is in the rain. That’s where today found me, at least, as I let the sound of the rain fill my thoughts with gentle truths.

Nobody belongs here more than you. Did you know that? This is it, and you are it. Do not doubt, do not hesitate, do not let your questions suffocate you. Breathe. Let go. You are exactly where you need to be.
