The rain

Such harmonious sounds of the rain coming down-
Untold, uncountable, immeasurable the amounts of rain drops that come down.
Ones thoughts seem to dissappear as one gazes into the curtain of rain..
A never ending orchestra that fills the gap of the air that is around us..beautiful in it’s own cleansing way..
The many drops that saturate the fround, fueling our mother earth as it needs it.
Little ponds are raised as too much rain water can not be absorbed..
Drops falling upon the pond causing rings of beauty, big and small..
As i watch the rings that are formed in the surface of the ponds… circles of endless motion, one connecting with another, disappaering as they merge together as one..
I listen to the sounds of the many rain drops that hit the tree leaves..
only to wonder of the vibrations and sound waves that causes the feeding of the air around us..
As the rings of water are the vibrations form the rain drops, I tend to think that it’s this very thing the sound waves, and vibrations that nourishes the nature that surrounds it.
My relations, and comparison to this is or would be the same as us , humans, mortal beings enjoying and filling our soul with the music we like- or even so the beautiul sounds of the rain coming down, the birds chirping and the slightest wave of breeze that pass my face…
The sounds of the rain that once was is now less than before, getting lighter, the ponds getting less arenow in a still moment of life.
The currents of water cease to exist that once flowed across the hard pavement in the parking lot..
I am compelled to take lessons form such simplicity as mentioned in the Tao.
I am reminded of moderation as mother earth has stopped drinking of its fruit.
I am reminded once again of the yielding of both the rain and mother earth who behave in a manner that is harmonious to each other.
What lessons are we to take from this and relate it to our behaviors?
As much as i can see and understand within the simplicity of the vibrations and waves of it all , it would be the love and peace that is coming to us, and through us in moderation.
As harmonious as possible, we need to remind ourselves to present ourselves in with moderation, simplicity and be yielding in our communication with others. Be strong in my own nature, as i am reminded that I am part of nature, this beautiful harmonious rhythm of vibrations and waves. I am to remind myself that i am not just one that stands alone with everything. I must remember that by keeping things simple, in moderation and yield to others, that maybe just maybe the love, peace and joy will be shared between us humans as is in nature that is in abundance around us.
Let us all be reminded of what nature has for us, as we are all part of it all as well.
