Dancing In The Rain

We may find ourselves reacting within the emotions of preconceived notions.
Perhaps judging  present occasions from the viewpoint of past situations.
As some would say we are jaded by experiences from a previous day.
Like sinking in slimy quicksand we may find ourselves swallowed up in the cares of this world.
We all share the undesirability and sorrow of pain.
Some will make the pain their friend and some will run away.
I'm sure we can all agree that lessons are required to be learned and respect must be earned.
And when trouble does arise you need to be strong to survive.
And never fear change because without a doubt there is always a way out.
If we truly desire to find the way to start a new day it may be necessary to throw out the garbage from the past
and begin to view the world anew from a fresh perspective.
If we could focus on the desire to know love and to show love smiles would come easier and days would be cheerier.
Believe in the survivability of friendships and embrace the ability and nobility we all have within our souls to be concerned and care for one another.
And trust in the resilience of love.
Believe it is stronger than anything life can send our way.
Allow the desires of love to grow in your heart uninhibited and unrestrained and let the beauty of love find you dancing in the rain.
