Running in the rain

Not just a sprinkle but a downpour.

The sheer delight of childlike memories. 

Puddles and puddles.

Shoes so wet it becomes irrelevant.

Just wet is annoying. Very wet is delightful. 

It’s a bit like life. Half in, and we never really get the experience.

Everything worth pursuing has a threshold moment. Too easy, no threshold, and the choice truly lives the meaning of cheap. Little value, because value has a Pattern Integrity of applied effort and attention.

Life asks us to show up, look clearly at the threshold, and choose. Living on the wrong side of the threshold becomes half-wet annoying. If you do this for too long, it might become a bad habit.
