Oh, blessed, blessed rain. Nothing calms me or soothes my soul like the sound of falling rain.
Tonight is the first really good rain we’ve had this season. It’s cold–finally–and slightly windy. I wish there was some thunder and lightning, but you can’t have it all I suppose.
I’ve got all the lights off in my room. I’m sitting by the window with my laptop, reading and writing. A lone candle sits on the edge of the desk. I’ve got the window open and I can hear the raindrops outside. Every so often I look out the window and across The Bay. The glow from lights of civilization blur in tonight’s rain.
Peace. Complete and utter peace.
I can’t think of anything more perfect than this moment.
Something we can agree on… Actually, we’re agreeing on more and more these days.
Nice redesign, I dig it lots.
Yes!
Oh, melancholy, depressing rain. Nothing wrenches at my soul like the sound of falling rain.
Tonight is the first rain we’ve had this season. It’s cold,woeful, and filled with utter despair. I wish I had a warm blanket, a roof over my head, or just a hot meal, but I guess you can’t have it all.
All the street lights are out down the alley I call home. I’m sitting under a doorway of a hospice that is well above capacity. A lone spark leaps from a garbage fire, long ago extinguished. Someone has a window open and I can hear the joyous sounds of holiday cheer. Every so often I look upto the sky and wonder when the rain will cease. Hoping that each drop could wash away the pain and shame that I feel.
Sorrow. Complete and utter sorrow.
I can’t think of anything more painful than this moment.
Somewhere someone feels like this…
Dave, what are you trying to do, man? Ruin my day?
Wow. Now I’m all depressed and moody.
Thanks a lot!
Sorry dude. Don’t know what got into me. Anyways, twist off the cap on one of your finest bottles of fortified wine and have a drink on me!!
