Be The Rain

A philosophy of life

Be the Rain

I am the rain.

The mountain may spit fire at the sky…

Still the rain will fall.

The mountain may quake at the world…

Still the rain will fall.

The mountain will be silent and brooding…

Still the rain will fall.

The mountain will tumble down upon the earth…

Still the rain will fall.

The mountain will be reduced to sandy shore…

Still the rain will fall.

Be the rain.

There is no limit to the damage done by giving up hope, but if like the rain you seek the path of least resistance and find your way through it all, you will come out on top through sheer persistence.

I very well stated piece indeed Momzilla.

I really enjoyed the visuals that came with this. The rain ever persistent flowing down upon the mountain wiping away it's rage till it is naught but grains of sand.

[MomzillaNC]

Thank you. It's an attitude to conflict that I try to cultivate -- admittedly with only spotty success. But, there's actually a tremendous satisfaction in not allowing yourself to be overwhelmed by the conflict others seem to revel in inflicting on your life. To just be unmoved… not angered in response… Would that I could always just "Be the rain."

[Jennifer Queen]

I think that comes through very well in your work here. It is a good thing to strive towards. I look forward to reading more of your work.

[MomzillaNC]
