i woke to a singing telegram over the monitor early this morning. it's always wonderful to hear the melody that has no melody and the words that are only vowels. and even though I would love to sleep in, i find the peace that comes with early morning baby songs wonderful. intoxicating. and it fills my heart with joyous love.

water fell from the sky today.
and it rained.
someone dealt a hurtful surprise today.
and it rained.
tears fell from my eyes today.
and it rained.
took a breath as i stood outside today.
and it rained.
let the droplets cleanse my mind as I sighed today.
and it rained.
opened my eyes to see the beauty of trials today.
and it still rained.
