I need to see images from other seasons, other than winter, just to remind myself that this day of strong rain, gray skies and cold wind will not last forever. Winter is lovely and unbearably beautiful. Severe, yes, but beautiful.
The turmoil of last night's and today's storm makes me realize that here in Nova Scotia we have much to be grateful for, indeed. My thoughts go out to the people in Japan who are dealing with a huge weather event, a catastrophic weather event. If you are in Japan today, remember that you are not alone. Many hearts are sending you prayers.
Other people too have lived through catastrophic weather events. Is there any country in the world that has not seen such events? Probably not. Part of being human is recognizing that sometimes in our lives we experience joy and sometimes in our lives we experience suffering. Calmness lies somewhere in between those two states. It is our job to embrace our life in all its complexities.
Peace to you and namaste.
