A brighter moment....

Slowly, little by little I see things changing. Yesterday i was so glum, so low, today its a better day. I've realized the key is to keep yourself involved with any activity that you take on. The rains are falling continuosly, but the rain drops feel softer now...the mountains look alot greener than they did earlier. I'm asking fewer questions, people seem friendlier. I just think - "The world is just a mirror of ourselves." So many times I've heard this phrase, but it makes more sense now.
I walk around, my sandals filled with the soggy mud that is lieing on the paths...it makes me feel a part of the earth. I was just told of a home remedy for my tooth pain...so simple, yet effective...made me realize how much we unnecessarily complicate our lives. I see the lush green plants, the birds of paradise flowers growing all around, the smell of the rain soaked mud, the frogs hopping, snakes are seen all around too.....I feel out in the wild again. Alot of the ashram buildings are themselves made with thatched roofs, and brick and mud walls....a natural feel to the place.
I'm starting to feel like a small part of me somewhere is opening up a little.....I think I'm going to go run out in the rain, get my sandals wet and sloshy, turn my face upwards and let the little raindrops fall gently....I'm going to be a child again!
