A Rainy Lovestory

It's 4.30am and I'm sitting in the dark looking out at the strong rain. Tropical rain. You know that kind of rain carrying this sweet smell and you feel sticky all over but not cold. Do you think that the rain falls randomly?... Or does it follow some kind of system?... Probably a system that we human beings have glued on to try to make it fit what we think it is or could-should-would be....... We love to do things like that.

The rain just falls. Well that's what it seems to do and furthermore it seems to be doing its job quite successfully since it has been raining for hours and not just a little bit but a LOT! Transparent liquid pouring down from the sky watering the Earth, plants and makes the Coqui frogs dance and sing in true joy and happiness. If we don't want to be wet we can just stay inside or use another sort of shelter. Our choice, the rain doesn't seem to care much about our personal opinion anyway so why not choose to stay happy?

I went for a long bike trip yesterday and almost the second after I left the safe inside and was now free under the wonders of the humorous sky, the rain began. I stopped under a tree, looked up and said, "ok it doesn't matter that you'll make me wet as long as you'll dry me as well". And it did.... I had rain and thunder and then wind and even some sun and when I finally was back home after a couple of hours of biking, I was all dry and red cheeked feeling fresh and happily exhausted.

The sky has some kind of reddish flair to it this morning. A chick and sexy dash that makes it flirt with the Earth. I bet it does. Flirt. Maybe the Earth likes to wear different color coats once in a while and to be cool and friendly the sky creates different flavors to suit her sweet taste. And of course other times the Earth colors the sky......... They embrace and they love.

I saw three HUGE turtles the other day, an early quiet morning. Well two big and a smaller one. I have never before seen so big turtles free. They were swimming in circles, minding their own business, sticking their beautiful heads up to breathe once in a while and looking oh so peaceful and true. I sat on the rock next to them for a loooong time and just watched..... A connection was created and I could feel the sensation of gliding under the tempered water, the contact with the loose and hard rocks, the pressure of the stream, the gentle motion of the head, the graceful turns and that they could see and feel me too. I loved them and they loved me back. So easy to love and so amazing.

Everything is so easy when we do it. What make things become so incredible complicated are the thought processes we have before. If we just did things, things which are good for us (which means that they are good for you and me too) then everything would be so much more peaceful.

Have you ever noticed how incredible soft the water looks when it caresses the stones and sand on the beach? It looks like velvet and love..... I guess that's what they do, love. Even when the rain travels down through the air, hard and full of vigor and excitement. For us it looks like the drops are slamming against the waves but for the ocean it must feel like a HUGE tickling game and its enormous laughter will soon be heard and the dolphins and whales jump in joy as overcharged with energy and life.

I feel so lucky. So immensely incredible awesomely GRATEFUL of being able to experience all those things. Life, Love, Laughter, Light -the four L. I was told that one from somebody I love and he's right. That's what everything is made of. So simple.....
