We
have all been experiencing some pretty awful weather over the last couple of
months and it often feels like it will never end. With
half the country flooded and no hope of it all drying up anytime soon I’m sure
the poor people whose homes have been ruined can find little to be grateful
for.
I try to look at it a little bit differently to see if I can find something good in all the misery. I myself am obviously not affected as I don’t live somewhere like the Somerset Levels or the Thames Valley so it is easy for me to do this.
If
those flooded out of their homes could possibly find anything at all that they
can be grateful for in all of this they may find some comfort and peace within.
Universal law says that every action has a reaction so perhaps all the flooding
can bring about a positive reaction somewhere down the line.
Maybe
the government will have a positive reaction to this disaster and make sure
that in future the rivers are dredged and better permanent flood defences are
put in place. Sometimes it takes disaster to bring about a positive change in
both actions and attitudes.
This
of course will not feel like comfort now, but once everyone is back in their
homes and the memories start to fade a little maybe it will. Maybe it will never
happen again because someone will react positively to make sure of it.
Let’s
all pray that it never happens again but Mother Nature is a powerful force and
it isn’t always possible to fight her. Perhaps instead we can work with her and
by taking the path of least resistance, just like the flow of a river, can
ensure that she may have her way a little without so much devastation.
Mother
Earth is having a good cleansing all over at the moment and after cleansing comes
healing so for that we can all be grateful.
