Melt me

The dirt
My refuge
From my
Own head
The red clay
Cakes into 
Fingernails
Like the sweetest
Scented creams
Sweat is a most
Welcome sensation
And walking
In an impromptu
Rainstorm
Is the greatest gift
The land
Becomes my therapist
On this cloudy day
Soaking in the elements
In a really sublime way
Melts the worry away

    I love the idea of the land becoming your therapist. Such wisdom in your words. Thank you. :D

    We've seen the sun a few times today, but no rain ;) It is great for our mental health to get outside, it is something I really need to work on!

    ...yesterday I worked in the rain in my garden and I was covered in mud. I was delightful.

    Dearest Regine,
    Wish I could do that... but post accident will not let me!
    But at least I've gained back 1.7 pounds after having lost about 7 while Pieter was exiting life.
    Hugs,
    Mariette

    I love it and I have felt similar now and again. Always a treasure when that happens.

    When we're stuck in the mud, let's make mud pies and trust that our Lord will turn them to chocolate.
    Blessings, Regine!

    I love walking in the rain. No matter how old I get, it feels like it helps clear your mind and soothes the soul. I love your words and hope your new week is a blessed one.

    There is nothing better than getting outside after a long winter to perk up the senses!

    It sounds like you are gardening and I'm getting ready to do the same -- if the weather holds. Our rain was yesterday.

    Nothing quite as therapeutic as getting 'outside', no matter the weather. That sounds as though your spring rain was warm
    Blessings
