Good morning!
We had dead branches and dried leaves fallen everywhere after the heavy thunder and rain or hail last night, with bridges and trellis fallen. Thus, trees are refreshed and greener, and the grass is also greener than its previous brown tarnished color.
When we meet disasters and distresses, we let decayed things go and become refreshed – the world looks renewed. When we are sinking deeper in quicksand, we cannot get out of the 108 defilements like 108 degrees heat spell.
When we are freed from them, and reborn afresh, removing the defiled and decayed, we feel freedom, purity, peace, prognosis and joy. We should have such renewal and refreshment here and now constantly and continually.
