What’s different about you, after the storm ?
Are you hardened and toughened by it ?
Or are you more humane, compassionate and gentler as a human after the storm ?
It all depends on you
And how you choose to perceive it.
Perhaps the storm teaches you to steel the self
And create a self preservation shield from such experiences.
On the other hand it could make you more alive to life and the preciousness of now.
As you choose to live and love the life you have left than simply exist in the moments. ✨️
#Life Life Lovingly ❤️
This post actually was inspired by a comment from my dear friend on WordPress over the years and most of all, a truly empowered and brilliant author Maggie Watson.
Her comment made me stop and think of how much even a mention of the word,’ Storm’ can conjure up. And how much those who have survived it may be feeling … each of these bravehearts may have a different tale to tell.
Yet the truth is their heart beats to the preciousness of this now.

Humbled by both Storms Experienced
And Stories of Storms others have
Endured Yes through so Much
Perseverance of Human Grit
A Child Somewhere
in Africa Starving
Still With a Smile of
Warmth for a Mother
Versus a Child Full of
Everything even an Adult
With So Much they’ve Lost
Their Ability to Feel a Smile at all
The Human Condition
Finding the Balance Key
Either Through Scarcity of
Storms or Abundance of What’s
Never Been Seen or Felt before
Dear Savvy
‘Luxury Beliefs’
Will Indeed come to
Be Dreams in Fruition
Or Nightmares with
No Perspective Out
Where Heaven Wears
Clothes of Hell Just too Many
to return to the warm origin of Who We Are
Just withstanding
The Storms Naked
Enough Whole
Complete
To Both Survive and Thrive
With Gratitude for the Storms at hand
sailed
Through
With SMiLes…
Reminding me of a Restaurant
of Abundance my Wife and me
Waiting in the Parking Lot Too
Much Lightning to get out
of the Car for 30 Minutes
1st World Problems indeed
Oh What a Life of Options We Both
Lead
and Fall
as we left
with a Meal
in Clear Sight at Home
What a little sliver of Heaven
Among all the Cold and Hot
Rocks with No Life and
Indeed Below
Some of Us
Experience
in this Opportunity now
No Human even dreamed
of before in this Blip of Existence
We BREaTHE NoW NeW Room for Humility
Indeed
And
Great
Gratitude
with a Hand
Reached Out for
Those Not Strong or
Aware Enough to Swim
Their
Storms…
Often Yes
From those who
may oppose us most…
As It Will Be The Invisible Storms
That Are Most Precarious For Real
as i’ve
surely
‘Entertained’
Those Storms too..:)
