I can feel my feet wet and drenched, my shoes and socks are wet and cold. The pouring rain hitting my skin. Every drop felt great to feel the rain.

It was great to feel my feet again. Today, I made time to run and the weather wasn’t stopping me. I was all wet and drenched and yet I enjoyed every part of it.

and it made me thought, what a great gift to feel these things.

It was cloudy and rainy today. But, the road I run was filled with trees bot tall and small, different kinds of birds, and the nequi’s which are unique to latin America. I said to myself, what a beautiful community I get to live in and run around.

What a sight to see and enjoy the route. Today, I did not just run. I ran for the first time again in years. I also ran to explore the community where I have lived for a year now.

My senses are alive, I felt grounded and connected, relax and renewed. I found my inner voice instructing myself to just be slow and take a very slow pace. It was telling me not to rush nor speed up but enjoy every moment.

We need these moments. Moments of grounding, for me it is running. Moments of slowing, paying attention the surrounding and praising God for his creations. It was not just a run, nor feeling things. It was about connecting to the best connections there is.
