Funny how nature has a way of knowing when something with the current situation isn’t quite right Have you ever watched? You can tell that it knows when a storm is on the horizon Clouds will move like heavy traffic as if the sky were a crowded highway of sorts Bumper to bumper the clouds are up there high in the sky They roll in, roll out even here on ground level the leaves do this weird turn backwards thing I’ve seen it many, many times all the leaves turn their bodies heavenward waiting waiting waiting on the rain Why can’t we be that smart I wonder Why don’t we see and prepare for the storms that hit us No, we just get blind-sided and then we stand there in the rain We can even see it all coming and even still… we wait wait wait on the rain We should take a lesson from the clouds and the leaves We should roll out or belly up when we know that the storm is on the way Instead of just waiting waiting waiting on the rain I may hate myself in the morning - but I'm gonna love you tonight |

well, in Hurricane Ivan I stood strong...and then fell afterwards I always said batten down the hatches and ride it out... now..."run like hell" is my motto |

I love this piece. It is a great read as I sit here listening to the rain fall outside my window. |
