Listening To The Sounds Of Rain
Yesterday I prayed for rain
Rain is fresh, rain is new. Rain is a remembrance that we are not in control.
I should say, nature is always a friendly reminder that we humans are NOT in control. No matter how much we think we are. The control we have isn’t real. It’s all fake, maybe a game from above.
Hurricanes, storms, earthquakes, tsunamis.
These are nature's ways of reminding us. So why do we try to control every aspect of our lives and those around us? Is it because if you let go of the control, you will feel unloved, unneeded?
Maybe it's just me. In the past, I felt if I let myself slip or lose control, lose the grip I have. My life would spiral and I would never regain control.
What I didn’t know, is I never had the wheel. I had the illusion of control, which made me miserable.
We think control makes us happy
It really makes us miserable. Overthinking, we can walk ourselves into and out of a problem without even saying a word.
Why do we torture…
