mmm..it is raining...i am soaked clear through, and it is WONDERFUL!!!
on a more sobering note...we were walking back from the beach today, waiting at a crosswalk, and we saw this puppy run out into traffic...this girl ran after it, almost got hit herself....i have the image of her calling to him, he looked over his shoulder, and almost seemed to smile at her (that way that dogs do)...his tail was wagging, and you could tell that he was so so happy right at that moment, expecting her to follow him......everyone was terrified, hoping that the cars would miss him...and all we could do was stand there and do nothing...terrible helplessness....he got run over, twice...and there was this collective intake of breath, and everyone's hands instinctivly went to their mouths, and no one could speak...
it shook all of us...that reminder of how fleeting life is, how precious...how instantly it can be there, and then gone...right when you turn to look over your shoulder and smile at someone.
....
but it is raining, and it is beautiful, and all so fleeting...and you still have to stop to look over your shoulder and smile sometimes...
