Shutters. Some people just put them up. As if a storm was brewing in the Atlantic, the weatherman said prepare and shutters were put up on the windows and doors, some people put up shutters over their eyes, ears, feelings and heart when some personal storm is brewing. As helpful as the shutters are on the house, shutters are not helpful on the person.
It shuts them off from growth, understanding, empathy, compassion and a vision of something better. They merely lock themselves up in the immediate pending storm and can not even envision the post storm future.
The light does not shine in. The air does not circulate.
When a storm is coming open your eyes, listen, open your heart, grasp all the feelings and participate in the dance of life.
The storm can wash away old dried issues and permit the new to begin.
Don't turn off. See the opportunity to begin.
An ageless experiment.
