Even The Rain

Even the rain is beautiful here in the Adirondacks…nourishing, cleansing, purifying, creating an orchestra of different sounds as each drop attempts to penetrate the ground falling on turning leaves, hemlock and pine needles, ferns, and dead trees and branches.  If one is lucky, strong, on target…splash against the brown, orange, and red leaves that carpet the black damp earth.  The air is a bit heavy with humidity, yet it is clean and sweet, filling my lungs with purity and dampness to line my membranes with healthy moisture.  The air, sounds, wet damp days here in the Adirondacks present as gifts to my body/mind…calling me to rest and go easy, move slowly, gracefully through this time.  I am more one with myself therefore more one with All.   How precious and special are the wonders of these glorious mountains and lakes…even the rain.
