The Storm

The Storm 
By Donna Daacke

When the storm hits we seek shelter avoiding disturbance.
Ushered in by the clouds the thunder and its soaking pour-over life’s terrain. 
Dampening the earth, seeping into darkened crevasses while ominously and unpredictably creating a path. 
The storm, bringing with it an unexpected newness, it
cleanses away what was once dusty and soiled. 
Forcing an inward retreat as it drizzles its magic on life.
Recycling the atmosphere flushing out the old for the new. 
The storm had passed calm has set in and in all things balance is once again restored. 

In life, the storm is necessary, with it comes a shift, a newness, a sense of NOW. Nurturing, refreshing, and cleansing, a resetting and balance of our environment, it takes us out of the old and places us into a presently renewed state of nowness. 

"The past perpetuates itself through a lack of presence"
