Sometimes, this is even more difficult than having it actually rain, and getting totally soaking wet. Like watching a suspenseful movie and being on-edge because you have the feeling that at any moment that something's going to jump out at you. Makes you want to close your eyes and hide yourself away.
But it's the Contrast of life that makes it all real and wonderful. If every day were mild, predictable and sunny we probably wouldn't appreciate them very much after a while. Isn't it always the beautiful day after a period of dreariness that we remember - and the longer the period of dreariness, the more wonderful the sun?
So, what if you were to really dig into the Contrast, getting up close and personal without any blinders on? Rather than staying inside and waiting for the clouds to clear, what if you were to stand out on the cliff of life with your face into the wind just daring the clouds to 'bring it on'. What might that look and feel like?
It might be a bit scary at first...
... and it make take some adjustment until you get properly oriented to the weather, work on your footing and get firmly grounded.
Also, with a good blow, you might have to get your back up...
... and have to really lean into it!
The Contrast of Stormy Weather - how will you know that you don't like it if you haven't tried it before!?
All the Best,
Whitney
