A day to day acount of the whacky and wonderful world of Muggaz - i tend to be having too much fun these days, and often cannot remember moments due to debauchery - its time the internet repayed my loyalty by recording my antics.
emotional weather
Published on October 7, 2004 By Muggaz In Misc
The wind is hustling outside, and the clouds are brewing, you can hear the clap of nature telling us that nothing is wrong, but not all is right… I love thunderstorms at times like this; it typifies exactly how I am feeling right now.

The awesome power of nature is something to behold, nature is a grand euphemism for emotions as well… While I enjoy feeling like a sunny day, no cloud in sight, it’s important for us to recognise the power of our emotions, feeling like a thunderstorm.

Thunderstorms can come from no where – they are the most frequent in tropical environments, where we are familiar with sunny day’s and blue skies as a common occurrence… I have been feeling sunny for quite some time, not a cloud in my sky, yet this thunderstorm developed overnight, and the sky is cloudy again.

When humans harness the power of nature, rather than destroy it, the benefits are plain for all to see… I plan on harnessing the power of my own personal thunderstorm to grow as a person… the forthcoming rain will only give the grass life.

I can’t control nature, I can simply admire it, and when my own personal emotions reflect a thunderstorm, I can’t control that either, I can simply admire the power of my heart to love, lose, and then love again.

We can’t admire great weather with beautiful forests, beaches and mountains, without deplorable weather, concrete jungles and destruction. Only when we acknowledge the bad, can we admire and develop the good.

I am going to ride through this thunderstorm, take what nature can throw at me, and I know, it’s going to be a nice day tomorrow.

BAM!!!

This is a beautiful article, Muggaz. I have always enjoyed real thunderstorms and I think you have come up with a very apt metaphor.

I love thunderstorms. I used to live in a flat with a good view, and I could actually see the lightning shows. It's always a spectacular. We never get very destructive storms here in Singapore but we certainly get lots of lightning.

One time, I saw a lightning stirke down in a field. Massive pillar of sudden bright light.

>> BAM!!!

Yeah kinda like that. *g*

Thanks TW I dont understand people who are scared of thunderstorms... my sisters dog used to go crazy during thunderstorms, but that dog goes crazy over anything. They are best in summer... wehn you can comfortably enjoy them. I bet dudes from Florida aren't the biggest fans of storms... with good reason too! I guess I am lucky

>> BAM!!!Yeah kinda like that. *g*


hehe... yeah, lighting is certainly in your face, it is beautiful though...

There can not be great joy without great sorrow.  There has to be opposites to have unity.  It's the whole premise behind the Yin and the Yang (of course, most people just like it because it has that crazy white and black symbol).  You have to have both good and bad to appreciate either.  Everything balances itself out in the end.  You just have to learn how to ride out the bad to get back to the good.

You know what Karma? I have had a pretty bad week, and this morning I felt like I was going to explode... I felt terrible, but tonight I went to my mums house for dinner with my family, and my neice and nephew were there, and I got my first real smile from Alexandra, it made all the pain I had felt over the last 24 hours dissapear - I can barely articulate those feelings.

Because I felt so crap earlier, I appreciate the feelings of Love so much more... unconditional love is, in a word - amazing.

BAM!!!

Wow.

You are amazing. I admire you heart for living...really living. I admire your courage to stick it out, because you're one of the few that realize that all emotion is the same thing. Despair is euphoria and hate is love. It's all part of being human, which is one, big, beautiful disaster.

I love you Mark.

*looks scared* Good article. I think thunder storms are beautiful. When you're younger you can be scared of them, thinking they might hurt you. Then as you get older you realise you can appreciate their beauty and get through. You're so right, the bad times make the good even better. I hope you're ok.

You are wise beyond your years Trin. That can be construed as a bit of a problem for people like youMuggaz though, you can often be ostracised by your peers because you are emotionaly mature... that's why I love you to!

Was this inspired by the magnificent storm last Wednesday night? I could feel it coming long before the clouds covered the sky....though it wasn't overly cloudy....and sitting outside watching the show we were wondering where it was coming from as we could still see the stars through what clouds were there.
I like how you explain things in your writing, Muggaz, you are very understandable.

I know a man who has been struck by lightning twice and lived on. He has also fallen down a cliff. It's amazing how some people can hold so tightly onto life.

I have had a pretty bad week, and this morning I felt like I was going to explode... I felt terrible, but tonight I went to my mums house for dinner with my family, and my neice and nephew were there, and I got my first real smile from Alexandra, it made all the pain I had felt over the last 24 hours dissapear - I can barely articulate those feelings.

It's the little things in life that can make all the difference.
I hope things are looking brighter for you and when you are down don't forget what serenity family can bring to your heart and mind
