The silence was abruptly broken.
The clicking of the keys interrupted.
Curiousity sparked.
"ping" "ping" "ping"
What is that pinging noise outside my door?
The air revealed it all as I opened it wide
Rain..
Like metal to a magnet I was drawn by an unexplainable force. Like a child beckoning you to come play with them. Begging you to abandon, if just for a brief moment, all that sits infront of you. And so to the little child in rainboots and coat... I gave in.
Each breath I took filled my lungs so full that every step felt like I being sucked up into the air. I reached the nearby park to find a winding trail that led me to the hilltop overlooking the park below and over the buildings to the city skyscape of buildings. Like a child I stood on the railing - just smiling. In that moment - it was like all confusion and stress just washed away - and simplicity remained. I smiled at that realization noting to myself to make moments like this every day.Temptation swelled within as I stepped down off the railing and looked down the hill. It arose so strong that suddenly half way down I caught myself laughing hysterically at my running full speed contemplating how to stop incase I slipped and slid on my rear the remainging way. Before I knew it I arrived safe and sound... and jumped for joy in the nearest puddle as the adrenaline settled.

I catch myself being drawn to art. Which is kinda strange for me. I search the net for pieces to add to my desktop. I long to fill my home with art. I slowly have begun to gather small peices from a few people. It seems to mean so much more when it's someone you know who's created it from their heart.

Art.

It inspires me. It motivates me. I challenges me. It makes me smile deeply.

crazy story about hitting your head. I recall another time you hit your head on a certain bed frame?!

Rain. It is a beautiful thing. As is art, which this post was definitely full of.

Ah my friend, how I long to be free like that little girl. Today I'm feeling especially burdened by work, stress and decisions that need to be made. But I took time to enjoy the bright blue sky, the warm sun on my face and the smell of fresh flowers. May we always find joy, true Peace, in Him alone. The Creator.
