Rain Time For Me

How did I get to this place of being in a box, being so uptight in areas of my life and not allowing myself to enjoy the simple pleasures that God has placed in front of me?

As many of you know I have had this desire in the past three years to throw caution to the wind and run nekid in the rain…well I didn’t do it nekid, but I DID IT CLOTHED and it was BLISS.

I was running errands in Wilmington while visiting my bestie, Kim Melia, and well it started raining so hard that the lights went out in one of the shopping centers…I waited until there wasn’t lightening every where and headed to a ball park that was totally empty (well minus the random park attendant truck that was lurking around every once in a while).

I was excited and somewhat still cautious because I’d never just ran in the rain for fun.  I lifted my face to feel each drop run across my face…the drops were distinct and sometimes stung my face but I enjoyed every drop.  I didn’t want to stop running, I felt like running for days with this free feeling that I was one with nature.

I was cold at times, as the dress I was wearing was soaked as you can well imagine.  I did stop for a bit and just marinated in the rain…standing on a cement wall I did a couple Yoga Poses in the rain-that was incredible.  Maybe I should do an entire yoga practice outside when it rains-how fun would that be?

Not wanting to have this free, blissful, and love filled time with the rain I got back in the car and there was this little bird that landed on the hood of the car that just sat there for a minute or so, looking around, it was so incredible-I felt like it was a sign from the Universe that again we are all one, nature, me, you, everything is one and to enjoy every moment in life.

What’s Next

My ultimate goal is to be in a safe, non-judgmental environment where I will be able to feel ultimate freedom by running nekid in the rain.  Nothing sexual about it for those pervs out there…but just tribal really or perhaps I’m turning into more of a hippie than I really thought…to feel head to toe one of nature’s greatest wonders if you ask me would be dynamic.

I feel like running to such things all the time, to feel connected, to feel loved, to feel free, to feel playful and stress free…this is wishful thinking I know, because I can’t run in the rain 24/7, or climb trees, dig my feet in the sand, etc.  But I’m doing my best right now to implement more freedom activities into my daily life…it’s a journey!

What have you done out of the ordinary, or maybe it is ordinary that makes you feel connected to something greater than yourself?
