Have you ever been in a situation or met a person and felt massive resistance but tried hard to pretend that it didn’t exist? How did it work out? Resistance is always feedback, but sometimes we find ourselves not wanting to hear it.

I was sitting on my porch, watching a rainstorm roll out. I had nowhere to be and nothing that I had to do. So there I was, sitting and staring at the sky. It had been raining most of the day. The sun was trying so hard to come out. It was a truly stunning display of beauty. The sky turned brilliant yellow then pink and purple. It was like the sky was trying so hard to make things beautiful and cover up the fact that it was still pouring rain.

Have you ever been there? Yeah, me too. I have lived there. Wanting something or someone to work so badly that I pretended like it wasn’t pouring. I have felt like the sky, thrashing yellow, pink and purple all in an attempt to overpower the rain.

I sat watching the sky. As the colors faded and the darkness set in I noticed that it was still raining. Much like many of the times that I have felt resistance and tried to overpower it with light, it was still pouring at the end of the night.
