Last Friday night, the rain put the brakes on whatever earth-shattering task I felt it was necessary that I accomplish next. I was "forced" by the weather to pull up a chair at my patio door and watch the rain and the birds still coming to the feeder.
After about ten minutes of this, I felt a strange calm wash over me. I was soothed by the slanting rain and began to really see the world outside my window. I realized just how far I'd drifted from my "connection" with the earth and the natural rhythms around me and how much I need that connection.
I noticed the row of raindrops hanging from the phone wire that goes over to the garage. I realized that, while I am most assuredly NOT a jewelry person, I would wear a necklace with jewels like that.
I'm thinking a visit to my camp is in order.... (thus allowing me to segue to my next post - coming soon).
