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. |

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* |
