Being caught out in a storm can be a miserable experience.

Whether it’s snow blowing in your face, rain soaking your clothes or lightning chasing you down the hill, storms make you feel vulnerable.

But they also have a way of stripping the immediate world around down to its bare elements. And by wiping away all the normal clutter, storms make you focus on the here-and-now in a way that few other things in life do.

So next time you’re stuck out in a storm, in between the complaining and griping, take a moment to look around and recognize the different view of the world they provide.
