| Just Walking In The Rain |
For those of you that are not aware of it, the title is the name of a song that, for whatever reason, I can still sing [out of key] every word to.
As an un-ripened fledging, many long years ago, the world was new and had a deep abiding requirement to be explored…at least it appeared that way to me! Being a shiny new bag of organic DNA, I decided that I was the fellow to do it.
In my wee universe, nothing could harm me, for I owned the ever expanding macrocosm…it was mine, and I was bound and determined that I would delve into every cavity, slant, burrow, hole, nook, harbor, and point. Even though I later discovered that my parents were poor, I was wealthy! It was mine – all mine!
One day, I ran outside to begin expanding my universe, and very unceremoniously I might add, was introduced to Old Man Winter. Someone or something had pierced my fantastic macrocosm, and was attempting to discourage me from my self-appointed rounds. No way was that going to occur…its mine!
Suddenly, my DNA was being covered with tiny cold shavings of multi-sided, delicate, and exquisite flakes. Somehow, my cosmos was altered into a new and dazzling wonder world…a whole newfangled playground of fun. As quick as it rolled in, it disappeared!
My shivering jungle was gone, and in its place, was a warmth I had never noticed before, and my flakes had transformed themselves into wet particles.
However, I was soon cognizant that those dribbling specks were causing the leaves, and the grass, to sparkle. Wow, was I a lucky dude or what? Playing, and then walking in it, was a comforting experience. Once again, I thought my cosmos was Shangri-la, and it would last eternally.
Abruptly, I was told that it was time for me to grow up…to mature! My beautiful universe was annihilated!
Naturally, father time accelerated with un-relenting vigor…and today, I abide in my Autumn years --- its alright, for that is the natural order of life.
However, it is not my nature to give up. Therefore, I appealed to the billions of neurons within my skull, as to what happened to my universe. Its reply was terse and to the point --- my attitude changed! No one had related to me that I had to suffer in this world, so why am I allowing myself to be affected and controlled by the negatives?
It is time for me to revert to my beautiful, dazzling, sparkling, and un-discovered macrocosm…for there is where I may delve deep within and discover the universes left unexplored, feel the pleasures yet to be explained, and the wisdom not yet found.
And as it is truly raining here in Florissant, Missouri as I write this, I will bid you farewell, and let the pessimists see me enjoying another day of my life by “Just Walking InThe Rain.”
