The Storm

A storm is raging outside now; just two days before Winter Solstice.

I want to experience the storm.

I understand that some people value and feel content with keeping the peace and covering wounds. I have needed those people in my life. I know that some people want to learn how to dance without opening to what could be painful. They can learn the steps without belonging to a shared and vulnerable vibration. I always respected these people. I understand that turmoil is frightening and how painful growth can be.

With that appreciation I nurture myself in this cozy little cabin. Tumultious weather here on the Southern Oregon shores of the Pacific ocean is often obvious and sometimes challenging.

Physically I am warm and foggy. Emotionally I am a dark and windy. Mentally I am a lightning panic of curiousity about everything.

That is why I am putting on the rain gear. Feeling brave and reaching beyond my comfort.

I will experience the storm.
