The ad caught my my eye
and my imagination almost immediately. . .
It’s a simple statement
RAIN DROPS
YOU DON’T
. . .but it is a profound
and powerful reality
isn’t it. . .
Simple:
rain drops
you don’t. . .

I saw it first
but then like a magnet
Who’s power denied unnoticing
I saw the post from Dr. Jeff Spiess asking a really simple question:

but ohhhhhhhhhhhhh
the plethora of answers that could be delivered. . .
The ONLY ONE
that matters the most is merely
THE ONE
Y O U
F E E L
Y O U
BELIEVE
YOU ARE MOST CERTAIN. . .

JUST WHAT ARE YOU THE MOST CERTAIN

The obvious answer is the one that’s been a cliché for several years:
death and taxes
are the only thing that are guaranteed for certain. . .
Is that true or false. . . ?
There is no life that is flawless
no life that is perfect
no life that is ever suffering free. . .
Behind every door is a pain
so deep you can’t speak of it
. . . if we pull back the curtain
of our life
we would be severely tempted
to rip down the rod
because of what it attempts to hide. 

So are you certain
. . .of what ?  
Love
Death
Wealth
Happiness
Relationships
Pharmaceuticals
Medical Advances
Faith
. . .what are you certain:
  That rain drops
and you don’t. . . ?
What got you out of bed in the morning
What keeps you going
What puts the beat in your heart
What makes you not give up
Quit
Despair
Become overly depressed
when The RAIN DROPS
on you heavily?
I have lived a truly enchanted life. . .
I’ve not always reveled in the defeats
or the pain
or the suffering. . .
but I’ve always grown and learned from from the hurts;
I’ve never had
long lasting
consistent
pure unadulterated happiness
and never-ending joy
but Contentment
and Peace
are more part of my life
than not. . .
I’m not certain of tomorrow
but I am of today
and the Gift
that I’ve been entitled to enjoy
because of it. . .

The Storms
Hurricanes
Tornadoes
Tsunami’s
have reeked havic
in my life
and yet there’s never been a day
that I haven’t seen the sunrise
or have been found
not far from it’s radiating rays. . .

It’s been in the
in-between
of the storm and the sun
it’s been the pause
between the notes
that has seemingly have brought the most meaning.  . .

Of this
(and so much more)
I am certain
. . . Of this
(and so very much more)
I’m grateful.  . .

Y O U ?
