How often do you sit and watch the growing path of a single raindrop? It's almost an impossibility when there's distance. To take note of such an incredible journey you have to be willing to get wet. To stand in the storm. To become part of the environment of a willingness to want to participate with something beyond your human touch. A single drop of water falls thousands of feet to hopefully be caught by the limbs and leaves of a love filled and giving tree. Once they meet the raindrop has a decision to make. Does it become part of the tree's rooting system? Does it reach outward and participate with a community of other raindrops? Maybe it's on a mission to locate an ocean? Discovery Channel needs to cover that story sometime. One drop falling into the forest in Yellowstone National Park and it travels thousands of miles down the Yellowstone River to the Missouri then into the Mississippi before leaping into the Gulf Of Mexico. The elements around us say so much about our temperament. How we approach things is based off what we've learned want to learn or have participated with even if its momentary. Unlocking yourself from being all corporate or career driven changes the paths we are given. I love talking with first time parents. They had no clue what to expect and yet that little raindrop has an entire future to help bring to life. Look around you more often.
