I just woke up after a hasty shower.

Everything’s wet with a moody dampness – the roads, the cars, the trees, the houses… everything

It feels like the stillness that hangs around after the rain has stopped, juxtaposed against what just a few moments ago was frantic activity in a frenzied dance of the rain.

It’s been a long time since I at alone watching the world around me.

A car passes by, it’s tires make a sound like tape on the road as it passes by, leaving two wet trails.
A couple of birds get busy in a frenzied chatter, looking for a nice warm branch of a tree.
Flip-flop says the wet pair of flip-flops that go scurrying down the pavement.

No one gives a second look.
There isn’t anybody around.

It’s raining!

Are we not taught that getting drenched would mean catching a cold or a fever... I wish I had more freedom then to walk into a downpour and get drenched... But today, I conciously avoid rain, else I would soak my professional attire. That would mean get back home, change and be late to work. :o(

The least I get to do is enjoy the drizzle standing in my balcony :o)
