Tension

There is so much tension in the air when thunderstorms are in the area. It can be incredibly hot one moment and then freezing in the next. There is a push and pull between the warm front and the cold front. This tension creates an enormous amount of energy. It always amazes me at the calm following a thunderstorm. It's like a recuperation period.

We often shy away from the tension within ourselves because it's uncomfortable. What we don't realize is the incredible amount of potential that also exists in that discomfort. Usually discomfort pushes us into new and innovative ways of thinking and being. If there was no tension then nothing would ever change. There would be no growth. Tension provides the catalyst necessary for change to occur. Once the change is initiated then there is always a calm period where you can gather yourself up before the next cycle starts all over again.
