After the Splash

Sometimes peace doesn’t arrive until after the splash.

We received much-needed rain this week. As I drove through it, I watched how cars rolled through puddles - chaos for a moment, then stillness again. The water scattered, swirled, and soon settled back to calm.

Life works the same way. A sudden force disrupts our rhythm - a change, a loss, a surprise. Chaos rushes in, and then, slowly, equilibrium returns.

I wrote previously about the joy of splashing in puddles. That reminder still stands. Disruption can bring delight too. This week, the puddles remind me that calm often follows upheaval. Both have their place.

I feel grateful for a quiet season right now. Still, I wouldn’t mind a puddle or two to stomp around in.

Create your life.
