rainy day

I had a rainy day in Sedona. ⁣

That sounds so spoiled to me. But, I was bummed. I knew it was coming, I’m like a ninja with my weather apps- doing outdoor events does it to you- so, I went up early the day before to take advantage of the sun. ⁣

But this day- it was cold and rainy. ⁣

I decided to go to the Amitabha Stupa & Peace Park anyway. I go every trip and it always soothes my soul. ⁣

One thing I noticed- the clouds make the mountains more defined. They give them shape. That might sound strange, but I have been a fair-weather hiker (thus far). ⁣

There were parts of the mountains that I never knew existed because I couldn’t see the space in between. ⁣

⁣

Well, that hit me like a rock. ⁣

[pun intended]⁣

⁣

How often do we only share the sunny parts of ourselves? God knows I do it. ⁣

There is this incredible experience in the cold, rainy parts- maybe it’s where we can reveal more. ⁣

I really enjoyed seeing the mountain that way. I felt like I learned so much more about it. From far away they look flat. With the clouds, they were surrounded in pillows. ⁣

⁣

And then, when the sun was out- I was able to still see outlines of that new space- not clearly- but I loved it that much more- just because I knew it was there. ⁣
