Thunderstorms are a joy to behold 
Lightning! The true inciter of shock and awe. I remember watching/listening to an electrical storm with my dad on his front porch one evening years ago. The lightning was almost constant, creating this incredible never-ending ripping/crackling sound of thunder that just kept layering on top of itself over and again. It utterly galvanized my awareness.
Now, whenever I need to shock myself out of a torpor of the "duldrums", characterized by being lost/pulled away by the wandering inner dialog, embroiled in negativity.....intending the 2nd attention view of a bolt of lightning crashing down in front of me is very effective. And then, ofc, gathering what was ignited within....to tend to that fire and keep it burning bright.
