plain old love again

20231207_132737

again.  just RAIN.   Not easy and i worked with  Radical Acceptance and looked long at the Gumweed  i'd ordered from the Herbalist in Paradise…her recipe of gumweed and cottonwood bud because i'd almost used up the first bottle.  looked at the two wafers of lavender soap she included and this seed packet,  how she loves what she does           and finally,  late in the day a fierce shaft of SUN broke through and shown upon the wet leaves of this house Oak,  the branches over the wooden bamboo dragon chime and the rain drops looked like diamonds or prisms all sparking  reflecting rainbow  glints of magic   

love…,   here again,    plain old love

    Lots of rain here yesterday too. Heavy rain almost all day long. Even with rain gear the children came off the playground soaking wet and had to change into new clothes…but most of them were having so much fun.

    It’s been very cold here. Below freezing. But lots of sunshine. Plain old love – it doesn’t need to be complicated 🙂

    I’m finding your posts about Love & Radical Acceptance to be very powerful and much needed reminders during these turbulent times. And today’s image of the sun breaking through the rain. Yes. When all else has gone, it is Love that remains. And even in the darkest time, Light can break through. I have recently been listening to Leonard Cohen’s Anthem: “There is a crack in everything. That’s how the Light gets in.”
    Somber yet affirming, hopeful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDTph7mer3I
