The Storm

To say that the past two weeks of my life have been tumultuous would be the understatement of the decade. I have no words. And I always have words. The upheaval, the drama, the revelations. It's......I can't even.

I am very sorry to hear this and am sending a warm hug and hope that the storm passes soon.....

I'm not sure of the specifics however I have an idea of the larger picture. Hang in there and remember that God doesn't give you more than you can handle in one day.

Hang in there Dear. You are stronger than you think. Just remember how far you have come and what you have already been thru. You will come out the other side of this, stronger and wiser and able to stand and go on, a better person. Sending love and light and energy your way.


softrayne replies on 7/9/2021 8:04 pm:
Kahlan, thank you, I am truly touched. *smiles* I shall of course open myself to receive such blessings coming from a place of truth and beauty from you. Take care, and thank you for commenting.

Best I can do is: It might be time for a new box of crayons.. or two, .. best wishes..


softrayne replies on 7/9/2021 8:07 pm:
Not a bad idea tramp *L* these crayons have seen better days, like half of them are broken in half, some have lost the paper wrappings, none have points anymore, even with the built in sharpener!! *L*

Try watercolors or pastel chalks, crayons can be so melty and waxy.


softrayne replies on 7/9/2021 8:22 pm:
Hi satyr, thank you for stopping in and commenting *smiles* I've been drawn to charcoals lately, which is odd for me because I am such a fan of color, but, we will see how it goes. Be well, rayne

The storm...

We will dance as it breaks
The storm...

It will give as it takes
And all of our pain is washed away
Don't cry or be afraid
Some things only can be made
In the storm

Sometimes we get swept away
We're forced to take the change
The desert gives you comfort
You can't stay here all your wounded life

The Storm - Flying Colors...

'Allo Wicked, *smiles* thank you for the support, it is much appreciated. I absolutely love those lyrics!!

Dear Rayne, remember all the words and support you have given to me in the last month or so... please take them on board for yourself now and don't forget, please... it will pass, no matter how hard it is now, And you will be only stronger when it happens... sending warm regards and good thoughts and energy your way, Rayne..


softrayne replies on 7/13/2021 7:55 am:
Thank you Ex, your warmth and light always brings a smile to my face. I know, "intellectually", that this too shall pass, but whilst mired in the midst, it's hard to see the light at the end of tunnel. I'm sure you understand.

Just listen the depths and true parts of yourself...without tension and full of serenity.


softrayne replies on 7/22/2021 6:35 am:
Thank you Fabiano. Although I will admit, it is difficult to find serenity lately. I will try though.

Rayne,

I have not posted on your blog before, though I have been a reader. This post of yours reminded me of a hymn I have loved for forty years now, entitled "Til the Storm Passes Over." Here are the words of the chorus:

Til the storm passes over,
Til the thunder sounds no more,
Til the clouds roll forever from the skies,
Precious Lord, let me stand
In the hollow of your hand.
Keep me safe til the storm passes by.

Those words have brought comfort to me in tough times before. I hope they provide some comfort to you.


softrayne replies on 7/22/2021 6:34 am:
Hello dental, thank you so much for reading and commenting *smiles* I apologize for not responding sooner. Your thoughtful words have made my day, and provided a comfort to me in these times. Thank you so much, be well, rayne

I'm living on an endless road
Around the world for rock and roll
Sometimes it feels so tough
But I still ain't had enough

...in the end its just rock and roll


softrayne replies on 7/22/2021 6:36 am:
Well, I know, it's only rock and roll, but I like it.

Thank you jd, I am trying, although sometimes it seems as though it would be easier to just surrender to the waves.
