There's an odd sense of peace that lies beneath the surface of a storm, just waiting to be uncovered.
One may be tempted to just look at the chaos and noise and deem it malicious; but if you take a moment to truly uncover it's emotion, the way you look at storms will change forever:
Some may feel high winds, but instead try to feel the rush of energy past your ears, through your hair, and across your skin.
Some may cover from the heavy rain, but instead try running through it, letting it wash over you like cleansing waters.
Some may fear the booming thunder, but instead try to let the vibration course through your veins shaking loose the dust off your passion.
Some may shield their eyes from the blinding lightening, but instead try to trace it's every path across the night sky like a one-of-a-kind, split-second painting that only you have seen.
Some may be working on repairing the aftermath, but instead try to stop and take it all in for a silent moment, as the Earth has just screamed at the top of her lungs and created a masterpiece and you did not hide your face, cover your ears, or shield your head - instead you looked to the sky and breathed it all in; the beauty, the music, the shower of life. You have chosen to see the world as a work of art, even for just a moment - and the Earth smiles because she knows.
-t.s.
