Summer Rain

I saw the pitter patters

Fall on the windshield

I saw the wiper move

These transient cools

That moment was really but for that moment only, and this morning and yesterday, I was wondering if it might rain. And it did, for that brief moment. The summer respite was a nice change, though I wished there could be a larger storm, just to feel rain and smell it more. 

The clouds were also more gathered, and shielded the sun quite a bit. The ride and run this weekend were both easier, and then the pool, with its throbbing ripples actually felt pretty cool. 

At about 645pm, I breathed, took a look outside, and saw the grey clouds, the wet ground, and thought it was beautiful. :)

The weekend has passed meaningfully, with deeper conversations, reflective thinking, harder questions. As the night comes on, I am reminded of this very beautiful song. 

In the quiet of the night,

Where no one sees,

I come, on bended knees

To say, Jesus, you are my everything

You are so precious to me.
