Rain, rain come again
It rained today ... !
It teased me a little on Monday, but the shower was so short, barely enough to get anything wet.
This afternoon it was a nice warm rain but with a coolness in its center, after a long spell of hot and dry. Uncountable moist drops drenching this parched space.
I went out on my balcony and stepped into the water falling from the clouds ... agua de las nubes, ya no en las nubes ...
I saw the droplets bead on my arms. I closed my eyes, and felt them strike my head, dampen my hair, moisten my cheeks.
What a feeling, what sensations ... so much of my world is in my head, not less real by being fueled by virtual interactions and written conversations and imagination, but still in my *head* ... without touch and smell, without the intense subtleties that the imagination can only reproduce as shadows.
In today's rain, I was given a little sip ... a small taste ... but now! now that I see how thirsty I've been, I want a full glass.
