"those three days and nights i had the best of both worlds, in that i had her and yearned for her at the same time. i looked down through the blue air, high above the corrugated world, bathed in various hues of light from dawn to dawn, privileged to be young at the highest pitch of green summer." thirteen moons, page 166.

the rain is finally starting to get to me. everything in sight is dark and dismal. the luminous clouds lurk above head, plotting and pining strategically for the exact moment you wonder off without an umbrella, to catch you in your finest hour and unleash it's watery trove. three times today i've been bombarded by the sky's torrential down pours. precarious in nature or deliberate attacks i wonder?

well the heavens above can wreak havoc on me all day long as far as i'm concerned, because it's finally friday and i've got a nice long weekend of life living ahead of me, no amount of water can dampen that. as a matter of fact i challenge the rain to persist. summer just isn't the same without swimming in the rain.

  1. the wonderful part about rain is the new beginning.. why i love it is a period we must endure to start afresh... Some rains are a drizzle to nourish... some a tempest that rips apart the world... all allow growth to begin...

    maybe the world is giving you a beautiful new chance... (im selling that to hallmark)...

  3. It's so interesting that you connect summer with rain and how that's meaningful to you. Growing up in Texas, summer means droughts.
