Rainy Day Peace

​Today the rain falls gently down.  I spent the morning cleaning and cleansing.  Scaling down is a continuous prayerful activity for me.  Getting rid of things that we do not use or need, passing them on to someone else.  Keeping the house orderly and simple helps me to maintain an inner simplicity also.  The rain was my music background, soothing me, inviting me to stop and listen, to smell.  It was lovely.  After several hours of work and a satisfied spirit, I ran in the rain with my dog Sundance.  A simple day. A lovely day.
