I stood on the balcony, this morning, the Wind dancing across the pond and through the Trees. It drew me out, invited me to stand at the edge and feel it pouring over me, all around me. I stood for the longest time, while sipping my morning coffee, in the darkness of the morning and the energy of the Wind.
After awhile, my eyes turned skyward to visit with the flow of the Clouds. I was facing the south, from where the lowest clouds were quickly drifting over and past me, disappearing over the roof line. As they poured seemingly over me, I noticed for the first time a similar magnetic energy to that which I have experienced when visiting with the Moon, for all of these long years.
I felt the same invitation as the Moon puts out, only this time it was to stand with the Wind, with the Clouds, in advance of the impending Rain. The invitation extended to coming down off of my balcony, to stand on the ground before me, stand in the Wind in a way not unlike standing on a mountaintop. The uplifting energy that I felt was as a gorgeous greeting from all that is included in this Mother Earth. I found myself even a bit giddy as the very first raindrops suggested that it may be time to return to on high.
Once again standing on my personal parapet, I was able to now stand in a light rain, with occasional, yet immense flashes of Lightning above the clouds, followed by a depth of Thunder which rumbled on at length. This was a South Carolina version of a thunderstorm and I was blessed to join in.
Indeed, I was grateful when the call for no work came in, as it allowed me to continue visiting with the building storm. This storm, this entity itself seemed as a blessing for me to be a part of. As the intensity of the Wind driven Rain grew, I needed to gradually inch back from the handrail, until at last I was admonished to retreat to the apartment, amidst my own laughter.
