Rain
by Jaime on Sep.20, 2005, under General
How rare the rain here is in Southern California. A storm has been threatening all night, lightening cutting through the air, and the sound of thunder echoing through the night.
Such thunder storms are not common here, and they bring back memories of my years in Nashville. I miss the storms, for the first time in all my life I felt something akin to fear when the thunder started rolling this evening. I wouldn’t exactly call it fear, but I was in awe of the wonders of nature. I could certainly understand how many people could fear a thunderstorm, or why dogs hide under the bed as lightening cracks across the sky. Back in Nashville it was a common occurrence, but either I have been so long without it, or there was a something different that was present in the storm tonight.
Either way it seemed to be more primal, even if the storm didn’t last that long. It called to mind images and reminded me of days gone by. Good days, fun days, days that I am more than happy to lose myself in.
I need to call my parents……
