Rock Reflection Ritual
Rhythm! Rain! Ripening!
Life, in particular Mother Nature, has a rhythm we learn to follow! Patterns are everywhere we just need to recognize them!
Our rainfall this year hasn't followed the typical pattern we all depend on! We started out with way too much rain, which was followed by spotty rain, if any arrived at all!
Yesterday, after a spattering of rain we dragged our outdoor arena, before taking a drive through the trees! We enjoy our amazing patches of wild Black Caps each year! We pick them to enjoy right from the plant or to eat with yogurt, pancakes or ice cream! Yummy!
Without adequate amounts of rain, the natural rhythm of ripening fruit must adapt and change! Yesterday, we checked several patches as we drove through the property! The fruit is appearing, the color is slow to change from green, to red, to tasty purple! With eagle eyes we spotted 4 beautiful ripe fruits!
We Shared the tasty morsels as we drove on! Just as we reached the far end of the property, we were greeted with a downpour! We laughed and laughed as we flew home through the meadow and the trees! The rain was short lived, but ever so welcomed.
Mother Nature's rhythm is hopefully restored, the summer fruit can finish ripening!
Learning the rhythm of life is important, however adjusting to the pauses in the rhythm, is just as important!
Do you remember a time in your life where the rhythm was different? How did you pause? What did that feel like? Was it welcomed or was it worrisome?
Racing home in the rain was a magical adventure! A welcomed celebration of a sudden, though short burst of rain!
Manifest a magical day!
