to riding in the rain

yesterday,
I rode my bike home in the rain
and i didn’t melt
a bit

so there you have it
proof that I am not entirely made of sugar

while I revel in sunshine, it’s true
I also come with clouds
this is to say that I am not always sweetness and light
my dearly beloved can attest to this

but, that ‘it’ is always there
in some way

twice today I have looked up and spotted a heart
floating above me
once in the grey clouds drifting between the trees
and once
in a beautiful billowy white, floating among the blue
both I am accepting
in equal measure
I have reached for my camera
but as it is with clouds they travel on
they know it is not necessary to stay unchanged
for me to have seen, and bear witness
to visions of Love

I have of course found my spot, to be still
to face the sun
to feel it’s warmth on my skin and in my heart
a blessing to my day
and to my well being

have wandered …
my daily walk of gratitude
to fill my eyes, my ears
and my heart
with Love

and when I am full
it is to know that this, all of this
is always there
is always here
with me
and in me

and even when I am riding home from a long day
of work
on my bicycle
in the rain
that little bit of sunshine is still with me

and I shall not melt
not even a bit
as my ‘sweetness’ lies quite protected
deep inside of me

and shelters me
with Love ♥
