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.

2014 Goals, ready set go!

Start the process to get into Search and Rescue Finish 3 large projects on the house Save up 7 percent of pay Get back into photograph I have some what of an idea of how I am going to accomplish this goals. I know every goal is possible and easily attainable, I just have to keep up with it at all times. I am pretty sure the hardest one is getting to 200 pounds fit. The second one, process of getting into search and rescue, may take longer then one year, but I really do want push for this.  There are other goals, or dreams that I wish to accomplish but they should not be placed on the list due to the fact they may not be attainable in a set time period. I well strive for those goals much as I can in hopes to reaching them I know people make goals and hope for them, but only hold them for so long. I try as hard as I possible can to ...

Travel of the mind

Over the past 3 years I have been obsessed with travel movies, travel books, but most of all imagining the places I can go. I don't believe I have ever been in such a wanting of something then the ability to get up and travel the world, see new things, enter a world of others. I think the main reason for this is that I believe it will help me find my self. Learn from others to lighten the dark corners of my life. Understand the true human spirit and why we act and do what we do. It was around three years ago when I got to see Europe and explore two counties full of culture and new ways to light up my life. The sad thing it took almost three years to realize it because my eyes were covered by a blanket known as a fake relationship. I luckily didn't forget the sights, the food, and the people that I got to interact with. I don't believe I will ever forget those item now because it means so much. I am so very thankful that I was given that opportunity to see Germany and Italy....
