Life - a splendid torch

Whee! It's raining! How I love watching the drops hit the surface of the Pond and make hundreds of little circles. And, the rain on the tin roof is mesmerizing - somehow the music seems to add to the silence and stillness, rather than detracting. Savasana following our yoga this morning will be delightful - I'll open the windows so we can hear the rain on the metal roof a bit more clearly as we chill out. I wonder where that expression came from - chill out? I do know I'm getting very good at doing it--chilling out. Amazing how healthy it makes me feel. All the things that seemed urgent suddenly don't any more. Nothing seems urgent. Everything seems OK just as it is. I'll share a few words of wisdom from my calendar - Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I've got hold of for the moment, and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible.....G.B.Shaw.
