At such a loss for words
To say I'm unsure of what I want to talk about would be an understatement.
So for the record I'll start by saying, I was thoroughly disappointed by my grade on the timed writing regardless of the fact that it was our first one of the year. I hadn't thought I had done as badly as I actually did. But hopefully time and those note cards will change that.
Now to go off only completely different tangent...
Picture this:
A dark Grey sky. A distant rumbling of thunder can can be heard. You're standing outside in your yard by the flowers and trees that surround it. And then the drops falling, slowly at first, then steadily getting faster and faster. It's a warm kind of rain that envelopes you in itself. And you just stand there feeling the rain on your skin, in your hair, soaking your clothes. And then after a few minutes it slowly dies away leaving a cool breeze behind. You absorb all your surroundings.
What do you see? – the trees swaying quietly with drop of rain on their leaves...
What do you smell? -Fresh yet damp air...
What do you feel? -Energized, calmed, refreshed?
Some literary analysis( what is the plural of analysis?!?!) can perhaps be applied to real life without it being completely metaphorical
They (Foster) say that rain is not only a part of a baptism but is also cleansing. Don't you feel cleansed in a way after it rains and you smell that damp air and take in exactly what the rain has brought with it?
Many people find rain dull or feel that it makes them feel sleepy or gloomy. But I like the way it patters on the roof and freshens up the air. It's really
That's all I've managed to come up with.

Monika, I completely agree with you about the rain. Rain (water) is needed in everyday life. It is used to clean things, replenish our thirst, create new plant life, and other things that I cannot think of at this moment. I believe it is there to cleans the whole land and help things grow.
ReplyDeleteConsidering you posted this blog after the huge rain down pour that was at 1, I could completely connect with your description of the rain above. But the rain yesterday was, I think, a bit far from cleansing. It was like a waterfall and became so bad for me that my roof began leaking. Yesterdays rain for me was not close to cleansing for me, but destructive. But we are both different people with different views on things, so it is all good. =]
