Rain
June 10, 2009
Today welcomes the first rain fall of the rainy season this year. For me, this rain is a big marker: once the rain finishes, the humid summer comes in full blast. So, this makes it one of the last few times until the fall when I can enjoy a cool breeze and not worry about sweating out buckets.
Being a Vancouver boy, rain has always been a constant in my life and in many ways, watching the rain and hearing the rain is a kind of homecoming. As things sometimes are put into place by the invisible hand, my morning class was canceled giving me a chance to sit here alone enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to an old Art Bell show while watching the rain.
While I have a couple of class later on in the day, this moment is, for me, the most energizing and grounding time that I’ll have until I fall asleep tonight.
This is pure bliss.
