Description
As I was running in the rain today, exhilarated by the energy of the storm around me, I began to realize how very much love is like a storm. When the storm is upon you, you are energized by its fierceness, caught up in the maelstrom of passion and buffeted by the winds of emotion. Even as you feel the giddy rush of it all, it is, at the same time, frightening. And when the storm has passed, it leaves you feeling empty, almost deflated by the sudden end to all that energy and emotion. The rain may still be falling, but it is like a lover's tears, unable to replace the passion that came before. And yet, no matter how devastating the storm is, we look forward to the next one, hoping that when the next storm passes, the clouds will part over a landscape refreshed by the rain instead of beaten down by it. And I am no exception to that rule, so until I find that perfect storm, I will keep running in the rain, trying to avoid the lightning.
