The Calm

Storms are one of nature's coolest events. It helps produce life- trees, grass, flowers, US. It also brings booming thunder and flashing lightning. It also makes beautiful sounds as rain tumbles on the roof or on my head. I love flowers. Therefore I love the rain that brings them to life. BUT storms are sooooooo ORDINARY for someone to like. EVERYONE loves storms, or rain, or thunder. What I always forget about is this................

4. The Calm Before the Storm

Standing outside, a hush comes over you. You can see the storm coming in the grey, dark clouds. You can feel the it in the heaviness of the air around you, thick and making it harder to breathe. BUT the storm is NOT upon you yet, though there is a breeze.

Then, suddenly, everything stops. The breeze dies down, the air lightens up. And everything feels right. Like, no matter whats going on in my own life, right now, everything will be ok.

That one moment is enough to refresh me for days. I feel like I am flying on the wings of this storm. And it doesn't hurt that the calm of the storm means there is a storm close behind, which I like for all the reasons I listed above.
