Hello sovereign light
This past week has brought an extraordinary amount of rain. Not the gentle, romantic drizzle kind, but the full theatrical performance. Sheets of rain, opened floodgates, and that quiet agreement we all make to slow down, stay put, and surrender to it. Watching the world thoroughly soaked, I couldn’t help but notice how closely the weather mirrors our inner landscapes.
As the rain poured, my mind wandered to Riders on the Storm by The Doors. There’s something about that song that feels made for moments like this. Moody, mysterious, and a little cinematic. A reminder that storms aren’t just something to get through, they’re something to ride. Umbrella optional.
Then came the softer hum of Rainy Days and Mondays by The Carpenters. That gentle nod to the days when energy dips and emotions feel a little heavier. No fixing required. Just tea, blankets, and permission to feel exactly how you feel.
With the rain still making itself very comfortable, another line floated in through Have You Ever Seen the Rain by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Rain when the sun is supposed to be shining. Life being delightfully contradictory. Proof that joy and uncertainty can share the same sky without cancelling each other out.
And then, quietly, the shift. Clouds thinning. Light peeking through. Cue the familiar reassurance of Here Comes the Sun by The Beatles. After days of downpour, those words land like a smile from the universe, reminding us that warmth and clarity do eventually return. Right on time, every time.
This rain hasn’t felt like a nuisance. More like a reset. A thorough rinse. Perhaps the invitation isn’t to rush toward the sunshine, but to appreciate the whole cycle, puddles, pauses, and all.
Playlist recommended. Gumboots encouraged.
with love, light and dancing between rain and sunshine
