Walk in the Rain

~Patrick Devine

Live Life. People oftentimes put too much effort
trying to stay from a few drops of rain. They put
too much enphasis on their material possessions.
"My clothes will get wet. I just bought these
books." "It is simply rain," I implore them.
"anything that gets wet will again be dry, sooner
or later." I say, "eventually all things dry,
eventually all things die, but did everything
really live?" Let go of your stress, let go of
your concerns, let go of your schedules. Feel
yourself become more alive with every step. Feel
your body and mind both counting in time with
every footfall. Simply walk, forget yourself, a
destination is nice, but not important. Just to
walk, enjoy the sensation of your feet hitting
the ground, the heat rise off your body, the
gentle breeze on your back, and the caress of rain
on your face. Never once worry about your shoes,
don't fret over your hair, just keep walking, live
the moment.
