Listen to the rain There was a time when just the sound of the raindrops was enough to set us soaring. You'd grab my hand and we'd run out to dance, to play, to love in the rain. It was a cleansing, a renewal. Now its just one more hour to get through, one more night. Maybe the next time I'll go out by myself and let the rain caress me. Maybe I'll listen to the thunder and let it entice my feet to dance. Maybe in the flash of lightning you'll see what you are letting slip away. And you'll come to me again... ...in the rain. |

Hey lady... Hopefully this is just a mood? (I blame everything on hormones, which is prolly not that far wrong) Sad write, but you've still got it... It's good to see you here again. You oughtta stick around awhile. (ppppsssttt...have ya made "head" nurse yet? ) Hugs you--I'm wicked as ever. |

(big hugggsssssssss) Oh Paula, I'm so happy you're back, dearest friend, it saddens me if this is related to how you're feeling now but know we are all here for you and you are bound to again go singing in the rain! (kiss on cheek) This is a very sadly beautiful comeback, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paula, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton Underneath your clothes, there's an endless story |

The title alone would have drawn me in, but knowing you were the author made this an essential read. Your masterful weaves have been missed my friend, excellent work! And now she's in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand ~ Bernie Taupin |
