Monsters of the Sky

"A great flame follows a little spark."   

  ~Dante Alighieri (from the book "The Divine Comedy" )

  Some people call the piercing storms with thunder and lightning "The Monsters of the Sky".
That sudden spark of light lights up the sky. It can be terrifying or beautiful depending on your perspective, age and understanding. We are more vulnerable during a thunderstorm and we must take cover for protection and safety.
    But from a little spark, the lightning of love can brighten our paths. We take shelter in each other. The sounds of thunder are intense heartbeats and the lightning is a wave of energy that brighten the sky like a haunting flame.

Love is a great power and illuminates our lives in the same way that lightning does. It is a majestic or divine source of energy. When it is the right kind of love, "there exists no other truth".  Like the thunder, we are tossed about by our passions.
