Our two week dry spell has concluded with this morning’s gentle rain. My cats and I gaze out in wonder as we see the gentle blessing descending from above. In preparation I swept up the gorgeous orange and golden leaves, which continued to change color on the ground after they fell into soft pinks and deep crimsons.
The sound of the rain pitter pats like my cat’s paws on our bamboo floor. It softens my heart. I open up to receive the moment like the Earth does to let in the moisture as tears of gratitude fill my eyes.
What softens your heart? Can you feel it now? Ki to Happiness feels gratitude for the gentle blessing of the welcome rain.
