There are times, in my life, when emotional storms drench me. The emotions are so strong. They wash over me, envelop me. It seems like a sea of feeling. I don't know where it ends. And yet, my inner knows reminds me that I've been through this before. There is and end. Nothing lasts forever in the same way. With that knowing it's easier to ride the waves, to find peace in the storm. To allow my emotions. To notice my feelings and let them simply be feelings. As natural as the rain and thunder. As powerful and beautiful as the ocean.
Then, to work with my emotions. Find the points of resistance. Ask myself questions to facilitate learning and discovery. Sharing keeps me open and transparent. Creating space for the people around me to share what they're going through.
The storm recedes. The sun peeks through. My world is washed clean. A cleansing has taken place. It is my job to let it. To allow and experience. And like the world after a heavy rain, everything is sparkly. Everything is fresh, revitalized and clean.
