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.

Yearly, year in review edition 2011

The year 2011. Began with so much hope, struck by tragedy in the early part and became quite through the remainder. As stated in the first part 2011 was to be a year full of promise. A year in which I thought a large amount of change would occur in my life, on a good note. Several months later I would find that not to be entirely true. I had just graduated from college a few days before the start of this year and was full of hope and eager to move forward. I had great friends to help through some of the challenges that I know I would endure. I was ready for this year probably more than any other year before, oh how wrong I was, and how this would be shown with eight days in the year and several times later. January 8th, the first test in my faith of the year. Not many people through out the world well remember the 8th of January, 2011, but I can almost guarantee that the people of Tucson well remember it. Several people, some of which my family knew, were shot brutally shot by a perso...

So close to the new start

I have never been this close to attaining a goal of this magnitude. A goal that is a life time goal. A goal that is so big to me that as of today I am a whole week away from accomplishing. So many people have been asking how does it feel are you excited. The truth is I am scared as hell. I am scared of messing up and I just missed the goal. I am scared of my life changing completely because of the change that can come in accomplishing this goal. I am scared of being disappointed like have be soon many time before. Yet with all this fear I know it must be done. This is where my biggest fear resides. I have to look all these fears stair them in the eye and leap into a vast unknown. A blackness of which my hopes are not even seen. A place where my thoughts are lost and I struggle to hang on to them. This change is something I thought I would never be afraid, but because of the past I am still apprehensive to the idea. I am still apprehensive because what if the actions takes everything aw...
