That is beautiful writing about a common or sometimes not so common thing, rain. You made the author intriguing as well.

Prose that reads like poetry. Is that an oxymoron? I can't think of a word for it. Would you coin one? :)

I love storms too, as long as I'm watching from a safe place. Then again, a soft, gentle rain is what is really needed in such heat. Defuses tension too.

Very poetic; of course, all our pre-industrial and especially our pagan ancestors had a different relationship with nature - they related nature's qualities to their own. We have largely lost that, but it's good to be reminded of that way of seeing; and I still get a tremendous charge out of storms...

Now Pat you would love it here today, I thought what a waste all my big strawberry plants drying off tipped out of large pots I shuffled them into a line on the garden and sprayed them with water and covered them with soil. I called down the rain clouds and down came the rain in sploshes like eggcup fulls of goodness. We have had three short storms today and intermittent sunshine. So cool and refreshing, I don't think I like the heat so much it seems cruel. I hope you get rain soon for the sake of the harvest and the underground reservoirs .

Yeah, I think most of us could do with a bit of rain, but we too don't need any damaging lightning, hail or high winds! Dance, Mother Nature, dance!
