Dream On: Coastal Rain

I find that the best time for thinking and to crank out dreams and ideas is during a shower and on rainy days (the other kind of shower). I suppose the water metaphorically is washing away those things blockading a cluttered mind. Whatever the case, water is a calming agent.

Even though the cause of the rain today is Tropical Storm Andrea, unfortunate as it is, it got me thinking. I’m starting a new little series just sharing a snippet of a fanciful moment I hope to one day live.

On a rainy day someday, how lovely it would be to have a moment where I can just sit on my porch to watch the rain pour and the leaves twist in the puddles. The usual stillness of home is broken from the pitter-patter of the raindrops on all surfaces, the hollowing wind through the crevices and opened bottles, and the waves crashing over the rocks and sand.

Hand in hand with my love, sipping warm tea while the rain and wind cools down the summer air.

A slow paced life on the edge of the beach.
