Rain

Ever since I was kid, rain meant so much to me. I love every aspect of rain. One of my favorite thoughts to go to is when I was hiking through Madera Canyon. As I had just hit the top I could smell the rain about to come down. I then started hearing the droplets drum on the leaves above me. As the rain kicked up more, I could hear more drumming and the drops hit me. I then just sat there near a natural spring. I then could hear the drops hit the water, I felt so relaxed and naturally happy. At that moment I felt energized and clean of the emotions I had before going up there. It is a memory that I well always enjoy and just makes me happy.

No matter how I feel or what I have been through I can't help but let the rain take me over. The sight of clouds, the colors and the sounds are just amazing in my mind. Each rain storm is different yet the same results happen.



The clouds slowly climb over the mountains, painting a the canvas of the sky hues of grey. Every thing seems to quite down, yet each sound is more definitive. The colors on the ground, animals and plants began to  transform with colors that seem to come out inviting the rain.

As the clouds slowly cross the lands, blocking the view from which they came. Sounds of a monstrous wall begins to roar. The sun decides to take a break and just gives enough light to cascade the grey and silvers over the land with some amazing dark blues.

To my surprise a new sense is brought in, a sweet smell that is only unique to the desert land. I can't see the drops of rain yet, but I can see the curtains of blue fall. They look frozen in time but some how I can still see them move towards me. The smell becomes more intrusive and the skies darken more.

The first drop falls causing the tan dirt to go to a brown. The sounds of drops at first are slow and steady in pace creating a rhythmic beat that is like no other. The beats change depending on the instruments near, leafs making a muffled drum, tin roofs giving the dings and water creating a splash.

As I step in to the falls rain cascades against my skin. At first the drops are cold but as the spread a new feeling emerges. A feeling of cleansing cascades over the skin and mind. A small breeze cause a tingle. I look up straight into the grey as drops fall on my face and lips. One of the best feeling around.

Rain is a re-newly for all whether it be water for a new seed to grow and cleansing for another, rain is simply a need.

When view through a window looks bad look through another.

In yesterdays post I talked about the amount of stress that I am placing myself in and stretching myself so thin that I am actual feeling a real effect of it. I began to look at everything that I am doing and the hell that I am placing myself into which a very bad situation, one that could place my whole future in a hell. I am seeing that because I am trying to do so many things that I am actually being very shellfish and not doing the right thing. I have so much that is riding on me and yes I need to have fun, but I also need to remember there are other things that should be holding precedence over. Its time to get thing straight and see there is a definitive path in which I must follow to make sure my future at hand, the way it may happen won't be changed because of poor choices on my part. Its time to close one window, and begin to look out another to see a new view, picture, hope for the future.

3 years from now and 3 years ago

So I was watching How I Met Your Mother today and there is one episode that they talk about 3 years from now. The concept was actually pretty interesting and saw myself thinking about 3 years ago. The first thing I could think about was that I was finishing my second to last semester of college. That was the only thing that I could instantly think about 3 years ago. As far as what I believed would happen 3 years from there, I would think I would believe that I would have a girlfriend and in a long time relationship and hopefully starting my career. Well here I am at 3 years and I am not in a relationship at all, I did graduate from college and I have a house. The thing that I did hope for is my career and I am going through those steps. This challenge has been very hard and I am only 5 weeks in and have 3/4 to go but I know I can do it. As for relationships I have been on and off so many time about relationship I am starting to think that I could be partially by polar. I guess if...

Open your eyes in a mirror and a whole new picture appears

So the last couple of days have been very interesting if not been some of the best days. Even they day I thought to have turned out bad really wasn't bad at all. Sometimes it takes a rain storm to clear the dirt covering your vision to open up your eyes to the truth that lies in front of you. It also might help to have people around you, show you things that you would usually over look. There is so much that each person has to them yet that individual might not even know who they are until they do something for them to notice it. Each person has been engineered to be some type of person because the majority says that is the way to be. This engineered view makes people believe that they are not the way they should be. I started to realize this when someone told me I need to have confidence in myself, I NEED to BELIEVE in myself, I am worth more then what a group of people say. This is true for every person, each of us has a quality that is unmatched by another. We have flaws that wh...
