it feels like the confetti
of rain
here is december
running in any weather
the sky is celebrating
a happiness so deep in my chest
beauty is everywhere
and almost blinding
tears come easily now
i don't mind
(the rain hides them anyway)
in pines and cedars
the mush of old leaves
under so many silent steps
here in fog. in mud.
in the soggiest of grass.
here in winter.
i have never been so warm.

thanks! seattle misses you!
i love it here so much right now. when most people beg for sun, i only want rain.
p.s i have secret too! shhhh....

What I really miss about W.S. is the reward of seeing the mountains on a clear day in the winter after days of rain. It doesn't get better than that.
We're planning to be back for a visit in February. Let's get together then!
(And about that secret ... I'm on the edge of my seat ... do tell!!)
