rain


after wishing for rain, we got a thunder storm. it came at the end of yoga, we were all laying on our mats, sweating like mad, listening to the thunder and lightening. it was over by the time we collected ourselves to leave. 

amazingly the rain brought some relief from the heat. today felt cool by comparison, nearly 15 degrees cooler.

often the rain makes me homesick like nothing else. i miss the smell of it and the amazing colors the clouds produce during a storm, when the ceiling rises but only reveals more purple clouds swirling around.

i hope you found sunshine, constant rain brings it's own oppression, much like the heat. i over look that part in my memory.
