My goal now is to write every day. I’m doing this on my iPad notebook, but actually writing by hand and not typing. Periodically in my rambling, I will write something down that I do want to convert to type and share. For today…It’s raining:
It’s raining. It’s been a while since we’ve had rain. I love to be sitting at home when the rain is pouring down. It’s somewhat peaceful. It allows me to sit back and relax and not think about the myriad of things that I want and have to do. The steady falling of the rain with its torrents of water and periodic thunder and lightning provide much solace from issues of health, income, other people’s sadness and frustration, and in general the really screwed up world we live in. It is a quiet time to contemplate life as it stands, how it could be, and how it should be.
Let the rain fall from clouds so gray.
Let it push away problems one more day.
Let it cleanse the soul, and free our mind.
Disrupt life’s pattern, for a different kind.
Let the light appear when the rain does go
Have the pattern shaped for a kinder flow
That brings peaceful thoughts which fill the air
With renewed hope that rids despair
To show the world that we still care!
