Last night there was the biggest and most tremendous thunder and lightening storm my years have ever seen. The flashes blinded me momentarily, making me see the shapes and forms of things outside even after my eyes had closed. The booming thunder vibrated through everything, including my bed. Its intensity clasped my heart until I felt like a weight had been set upon my chest. Yet somehow, I felt as if I was floating, my love and curiosity of big storms rising in my again. I stayed awake pondering, peering out my small window and occasionally being treated by seeing the ominous flashing of lightening and the deafening clash of thunder soon after. Everything here seems intensified. Like the birds and trees, like the storms and heat. It is very intimidating here for one who is soft to difference. But I could see myself coming back even though it sometimes breaks through my comforting bubble. It is through the trials that we come across that strengthen us and create a stronger person. Personally, I have fallen for this rugged exotic place. The ocean captivates me, the diverse species of animals draws my attention, the ground shaking storms and pounding rain raise feelings in my heart that have only been capable of being unleashed by the wonderful gift of nature. Others would find a cozy fireplace and a soft couch a more suitable getaway, but as for me, I find no greater joy than spending my personal time with myself, others and God outside where I can really let my heart breathe. There is something magical about nature that begs to be discovered. I am one person who would like to make that adventure mine.
