Don’t be Afraid of Torrential Downpours
Don’t be Afraid of Torrential Downpours
This past fall, I had the opportunity to contribute on article to the Fear Confessions series over at Organized Creatives (thanks Krystal for having me). My confessed fear was being afraid of torrential downpours of the creative kind. Even since that featured was published back in October, Iāve experienced both the good and bad kind of downpours, so I thought Iād share that essay here on Veda House with a few amendments.
If you know me on a more personal level, youāll know that I frequently talk about missing my calling to be a professional (paid) storm chaser. Iāve always loved watching thunderstorms roll in and secretly hope I get to experience the beauty of a mid-western tornadoā¦only if no one is hurt in the process. Knowing this, it might be peculiar to read that Iām afraid of torrential downpours. How silly is that!
I should clarify a few things. When Iām talking about downpours, Iām referencing the phrase āwhen it rains, it pours.ā I should also note that we arenāt talking about a delightful rain shower here, weāre talking about the āwhen it rains, it pours in a bad flood kind of way that destroys everything youāve been buildingā¦ā kind of sprinkle.
