Listen to the gentle rains, yes. Violent thunderstorms? Find shelter. Enjoyed the weather report, Ethel. |

I believe each rain storm tells a different story. Some softly cry...some scream out with thunder....some rock in celebration. we just need to stop and listen sometime...as you just did. A Most excellent write! In the Midst of movement and chaos, keep stillness inside of you. |

Ooooohhhhh, Pat..... I'm glad I don't have to go out in it today. I'd rather just listen to it and have good thoughts..... Be careful driving in the rain.. "Love makes the world go around" |

(smiles) Yay! Oh Ethel, this is sooooooo gorgeous, sweet friend, I wish I lived down in Florida where my sweet Joanna lives or somewhere where it is warm and rains, as out here in Colorado it is a desert and I miss the rain! (kiss on cheek) I need my angel tears now now now! (giggles) This is lovely, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ethel, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." Shakira [This message has been edited by Mistletoe Angel (12-10-2002 01:04 PM).] |

Wow. That's beautiful. I usually get annoyed with people who write something tiny like that, but probably because they don't know how. You preserve the poetic flow of the words. You really have a way of working with the music of language, rather than working through it. You've put a tremendous amount of power into a very short piece and that brings you my admiration. *Shay~D* |

Toerag, Yeah, Toe, the sun will dry it up. The sun's supposed to shine tomorrow. Yep, you got it right about the South, too. I don't think living in the sunny South CAN be beat!! Thank you all ....
