AFTER THE RAIN

After The Rain

It is a grey December evening.
The air remains chilled after the weekend rains.
The ground is wet and the mud has its signature everywhere.
The atmosphere is chaotic; the big lorry just blocked the little car from exiting.
Voices are raised and engines have been shut off.
I wish I could get out of the vehicle and just walk-on home,
but the dark clouds have descended upon the skies again.
It is about to pour out loud.
It does not feel much like Christmas.
The air feels so stuffy from the June-November drama,
I just cannot seem to shake off.
Chestnuts are not roasting on an open fire but, O come O come  Emmanuel .
This Christmas could be the one …

AFTER THE RAIN ...

“If I were rain,
That joins sky and earth that otherwise never touch,
Could I join two hearts as well?”
― Tite Kubo, Bleach, Vol. 01: The Death and The Strawberry

It rained most of last evening and all of last night too ..
Its a chilly Morning. the mist-coming-out-of-my-mouth-glove-wearing-cold.
Although the sun is playing peek-a-boo with the clouds, I must admit by far this is my favorite weather!
Contrary to popular belief, I do not brood ..OR feed on junk food..
This weather awakens my instincts, brings to life my creative side, I can walk for hours and eat all sorts of salads :))) with my favorite magazines stacked up ceiling high.
Makes me CRAVE my Jill Scott & Eric Benet albums...Elle Varner & all those smooth Neo-Soul sounds... A road trip out of town, with the windows all rolled down, enjoying the view of the landscapes and the chilly breeze blowing in my face!! *bliss* :))
The earth is bursting with life..Everything looks so green and fresh! *inhale* .... It smells GREEAT! that wet-earthy-fresh-soil-smell.. *inhaaaaale* :)
There was literally no traffic this morning.. it was quiet, no much hoooooting either ---- Makes me wish schools were on break all year.

JUST ANOTHER MMM... DAY

I know it's not thematically in tune with my new job and all, but I find it effective. Build a man a fire and he's warm for a day," I say. "But set a man on fire and he's warm for the rest of his life. Tao of Pratchett. I live by it.”
― Jim Butcher, Cold Days

Just Another MMM... Chilly Day with nothing but a steaming cuppa' hot-chocolate and a toasty fire on my mind!
