“The Storm is over now
And I can see the sunshine
I feel Heaven, yeah
Come on and set me free “
R. Kelly, 2001

This blog post is not going to debate the rights and wrongs of Mr. R. Kelly but simply to share the lyrics from one of his songs that, despite the weaknesses of the man, remain true, strong, and powerful.

I live in a section of the globe that is prone to storms at certain times of the year. We have grown to expect, accept, and prepare for them and have designated an entire six months of the calendar year to their visitations. From June to November, we refer to that time as the Hurricane Season. We had our first storm of the 2020 season recently and it came with some much-needed rain. It blew in and blew out and was soon gone. We collectively breathed a sigh of relief and chorused, “ the storm is over now” or more aptly ‘this storm is over now’ since surely, another one will come along before the end of the season.

We face storms in our lives. It is an expectation since we live in the 3-D and part of growing and expanding involves experiencing upheavals; how we deal with them is another matter.

We can do the ego-minded thing of ranting and railing at the Universe, cursing and crying foul, feeling sorry for ourselves and blaming everyone from the system to fate and bad luck or we can do the complete opposite.

We can get quiet and go within.
We can connect to our inner strength and reach out to Universal Intelligence for comfort and guidance.
We can look for the sunshine.
We can feel heaven.
We can free ourselves.
