I’m crazy for rain.

————-……….————-

“…I do not know. Our ways are different than your ways. The sight of your cities pains the eyes of the red man. There is no quiet place in the white man's cities.

No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring or the rustle of the insect's wings. The clatter only seems to insult the ears. And what is there to life if a man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the arguments of the frogs around the pond at night? I am a red man and do not understand. The Indian prefers the soft sound of the wind darting over the face of a pond and the smell of the wind itself, cleaned by a midday rain, or scented with pinon pine…”

Like a memory it falls,
Soft and warm, continuing,
Tapping on my roof and walls.

Singing in the bathtub
Sitting all alone
Tearing out a tonsil
Just like a baritone
Never take a shower
It's an awful pain
Singing in the shower
Is like singing in the rain

So many good rain songs. Perfect post for today since it’s chilly and pouring today. Yesterday was an unseasonable 70 degrees and I forgot all about sunscreen and got sunburned at the Hands Off protest. 😁. Hope you have a good week, Deb!
