LYTE BYTES

Thunder  Storms

I live in the middle of a forest far from neighbors and a long drive
from town. On rainy days I keep busy. I find inclement weather the perfect
opportunity to write. As thunder rattles my windows and lightning illuminates my
rooms I try to incorporate the surrounding energy into my stories. 
 
Soon our power goes out and cold air chills our bones. No Internet, no
television, no heat, no water. My attention shifts to discovering ways to
pleasantly pass the upcoming hours. I built a fire, cuddle up to my husband. We
talk, reminisce, and kiss. “Let’s play cards,” I suggest. We enjoy each other’s
company into the night. Next morning we’re greeted by sunshine. 
 
During emotional storms including illness or loss I keep busy. I
attempt to use surrounding adverse energy to seek solutions, rectify wrongs, or
mourn. As a tempest persists, normalcy fades leaving me in a state of
discomfort. I redirect my attention to my blessings. Their abundance inspires me
to reframe my situation. Bolstered by hope I reach out to those around me.
Together we enjoy passing moments. These precious times invite sunshine into our darkness.
