It took a while for the medicine to sink in,
Blow out the fog and remove all the cobwebs
Now I'm clear; I can hear myself think straight
Les Enfants - Celeste

It rained the past few days, including today. Rainy days remind me of a certain silence that passes through walls and doors and just the beautiful frailty of the world outside. I am reminded of the stillness of things, like a black and white image, and also the fragility of those who pretend they are as strong as steel. I like it when it rains. It's quiet and comfortably cold and I think we all need that after two months of tolerating the summer heat.
