Spring sprints a little faster to us here at the lowcountry...
fields of yellow envelopes the earth, the cars, the buildings creating mystiques of presense of faeries (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,anyone? LOL). I have been avoiding going outside because of my severe allergies and it has triggered some tics and pains. But work is work and no yellow dust can take away the temptations of needing and making the green... as I walked to my car I could already feel a big sneeze coming on. But I also felt a drop on my face. It was the first Spring shower of the year... I looked up at the sky, cloudy and grey. As drops started to fall, it was gentle and blankety... I just had to stood under the rain for a little bit, to soak it in...to feel alive... I stuck my hand out to catch some drops in my hand...it's wet, and a little sticky...but it felt alive as it jumped and exploded on my palm and danced its last dance in my hand... I had to smile....as it sent shockwaves that surged through my body making me feel alive... looking down, seeing the green of the grass that is greener than the George Washington in my pocket that I just made... the green grass is alive....the cycle of it all....dormant when cold, alive when warm... I literally stood there and watched the grass grow... when the leaves fall and the trees seem dead, are they? when the grass are brown and they seem dead, are they?? When our hearts are grey and brown and dark...is it dead??? When we are beaten by so many despairs and life has beaten our hearts to pulps that it feels like it is no longer beating.. is it dead??? Tis the season to revive the trees and the grass the rain is lubricating and creating greens in the verdure making it crisp and springy.... the sun will give them all its energy.... So many of us have felt the bereft of our hearts lately... hopeless, desparing and placed right next to the melons and the collies... they say to stop and smell the roses....tis true.... but it's more than that...let every one of your senses bring you to life...let every inch of your skin feel alive.... Spring is here....wind up your hearts....let's dance..... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ my dear friends....you all are like the rain and the sun and the season that helps keep my heart alive.... I thank you all so much for your supports...I am deeply touched.... I hope as the Spring awakens, it'll help you rejuvenate that sleeping heart of yours and know that you are never far from my thoughts...

Hi Moi, have not been around for a few so I missed the news of the kids. Saw it somewhere just now but not sure where...short attention span LOL
Congrats on the favorable outcome, I am so happy for you and Moss. I love the rain, it wakes me up inside my heart. Still don't know why I live in the desert?? Been limiting my puter use since I hurt my shoulder and needed to rest but wanted to pop and share the love. Love the new pic...Sue

I love rain too.
Little Cloud © 1999 Mike Bosson When we look at a cloud, we look at it and call it a cloud, but we know it is composed of other things. Today it is a cloud, but yesterday it was part of the ocean and tomorrow it will be rain, we know this and don't struggle with it. We don't hold one stage as being more important than the other, the ocean is beautiful, clouds are beautiful, rain is beautiful. When the cloud becomes rain we don't say that the cloud has died and lament its passing, but it has died if we want to say that the cloud no longer exists in its previous form. But we feel comforted because we know that rain is essential to life on earth and embrace the change, the cloud in its new form. It is only ego that holds that we are more important than the cloud and makes us cling so dearly to our present form. From all I have observed in nature and from within my soul, I cannot believe that anything that exists after death can be anything but wonderful.

Doody you are just full of suprises...funny how we think we know someone so well and then..walla!
Sue I'm sorry your shoulder is hurting and if rain "wakes up your heart", I'm also suprised you live in the desert. Moi I'm so proud that you are aggressivly working on a resolution to your progressive pain...(that didn't sound like me at all.*grin) Keep it up dude! Rain...we need it to wake up the grass here. I know it isn't really dead, just looks that way. *whisper...I have those days too. I hope Mistiis has fun snowboarding this weekend and I'm sure it will be hard to see her sister leaving. (Don't hurt your back!!!) Pono, I know that you are in the throes of it...please know that the black hole has sides...and we are right there.
