I have not been here in a long time. Not that I have not thought about it. I have, but there was no inclination. Time... I had lots of, but what do you do when your mind refuses to act? I am trying to get back to normal, in the sense I know the word. I have been quite successful at doing that... or have I? The New Year began without much fanfare this year. A month is almost over and days are slipping by quickly. Time flies....... it really does... Today's thoughts are really random. I am not even sure I will have this out for everyone to read.
A cold front rolled in last night, and the skies are overcast and the temperatures are dropping . There is something about cold and gray weather that does not bring out the best in most people.
I remember I used to love the way monsoon clouds would roll in with the breeze and drench us with a heavy shower and quickly disappear into oblivion. That was the time I used to love that gray look, it used to be short lived and always with a lot of breeze and a well kept promise of a soaking shower. The kind that lasts for about thirty minutes.
I remember a time when the clouds were rolling in from the sea, and the wind was picking up... I found myself humming a rain song and looking quite happy as I exclaimed aloud.. "I love this time just before the shower, it is pleasant, the breeze makes the heat very bearable and it is not yet time to worry about how you are going to stay dry in the rain!" That short lived perfect kind of situation! An acquaintance quipped... "What morbid taste!" To date I remember the disdainful look she gave me. I was so surprised at her reaction! I could not figure out the morbidity of the situation till I later discovered all day long gray skies with dreary persistent rain. I now see that she had a point. As for me, that short lived situation that brings relief to the parched earth, I still love it.
I had a visit from a loved one that was kind of like that rain, short lived but bringing much relief. It was nothing special in the way things went, with some health issues and bad weather, but in an unexplainable sort of way, it was very special. I have now decided that I will be more frequent here. See you soon!
