Drenched Feelings...
Morning dawned not with the first lights but with the sound of rain falling from the skies as I clambered out of bed. Today's field trip day... right, with the rain still going strong, I started to wonder if ever, we will be able to visit the folk villages as stated in the itinery today... unscathed. At least for today's packing list, I'll leave my Nikon out, opting for my Sony; which makes for much easier carrying.The rain has always brought with it, intertwined feelings of happiness and gloom for me. I enjoy the serenity that it brings to the surroundings; people walking slowly in the streets with umbrellas and blank expressions, trees swaying in the wind with rainwater slipping off the tip of the leaves, birds no longer in flight but perched high up on trees, the sun being hidden behind the storm clouds and me, sitting and watching the drama as it unfolds from the comforts of my bed. Feelings of loss and lonliness seem to overcome me as I continued to watch the scenes with no clear purpose.
An insurgence of mixed feelings overcame me, with which I can find no words to describe with full justice. A drenched morning or a serene one? Your perception defines the essence of things; you choose the way you live.
