Rain is nature's mood lighting, fitting as easily a twist of laughter as a pane of tears falling to meet its element on the wet earth below.
Rain is nature's drunken gaze, when the streetlights and lamp posts bleed their colors onto the grounds and walls before you, and you know you ought not to be driving.
Rain is an elementary school recess, whose crowds of pupils scatter and flourish upon the ground, flocking to similar spots and playing follow-the-leader, with generation after generation of fresh crops walking those same halls.
Rain is a blanket to those who have lost timidity, and claim any and all comforts as their misplaced birthright.
Rain is the night's best friend, who otherwise would have nothing to do but wait until morning.
Rain is an instant nostalgia, adding distance and wistfulness, as two lovers who part ways and climb into each car find a watery film of memory at once between them, watching red lights drive off, mirrored a hundredfold in windshield raindrops, and feeling the more alone for each one.
Rain is a cleanser of the clean, and an alibi for the stained.
boom. great line.
I also have been thinking about water as a cleanser. basically it doesn't matter what it is... you can cleanse it with enough water and enough time.
laundry. the grand canyon. strange how that works.
Now i got an idea for one of my daily notes email. writing-process like water. ever so persistent. unrelenting. nonemotional. powerful.
by the way any chance you'd want to do a daily non-fiction thing as well? like the emails i've been sending. i love getting these fiction from you but also want some non fiction as well.
i get them in the gift messages we send each other but those are contextualized to what you're responding to. i want something contextualized to your day.
is that too much to ask? lol
both by the content, and that i'd get bored by it, also probably due to the content.
fiction is truth as much as lies, and i love the in between
but i can't commit to one fiction and one non a day lol, ya boi's too distracted
Calling mom to make sure you tell her that you love her.
