Stillness Speaks

I am rather excited by this rain storm we are having. Storms can create such logistical problems like flooding, electrical outages, etc., but for me, for now, it is just raindrops on the ceiling. I know the rain could turn severe and that the possibility for this exists for the rest of the day. Maybe it's the Hunter S. Thompson biography I am reading that puts me in a bit of a mood, but I like a day like this. I like it kind of dark, quiet, sedate. It is definitely different from yesterday.
Webster's Dictionary defines boring as "causing or marked by boredom, uninteresting and tiresome; dull" and includes the synonyms monotonous, tedious, irksome and humdrum. I do not oppose 'boring' in theory. I love that a tree grows, but to watch it growing, minute by minute, is boring, for sure. I even embrace the idea that the more things change, the more they stay the same. I am reading part of a book about Adult Children of Alcoholics. One of the things Adult Children tend to do is deal with the problems of the past, in the present. In other words, they will work hard to find solutions for problems that were huge in the past, as a child, but which no longer exist in the present moment. Like moving to a new city, or country, expecting not to have to deal with the people or situations in your life which were bothering you in the first place, only to find them again, in your new home, just with different faces. One of my favorite books is Stillness Speaks by Eckhart Tolle. He says that all of nature is waiting for us to just be with it. I have 'Be Here Now' written on my backyard fence. I say all this to show that I am not necessarily a revolutionary, I do like sameness and non eventfulness as they are, in essence, peace.
However, as a part Sagitarius girl, I love this weather. I believe I need a vacation.
