Last night we had a rainstorm here. This morning was
a beautiful day. The gray clouds had all gone away,
and it was sunny. I went for a walk in my neighborhood,
and it is amazing how the rain had changed everything.
Walking on grass surfaces was like walking on a
naturally lush green carpet--the ground was like a
sponge, and absorbed each step I took. Fallen leaves
were wet, and packed on the soil. The leaves cushioned
each step. Then the gravel begged to say,
"Good morning!", nudging my soles to yawn and
to come alive. And all of this without a single word or
sound uttered. Indeed--being BF makes me one with
nature, and more aware of my connection with it.

Re: After the rain
Sun, December 21, 2003 - 6:04 PMEvery weekend recently it rains here! :-) Last night
between cloudbursts, I went walking in my mobile home
park. The streets are paved asphalt, and the surfaces
are rough with cracks every here and there. The wet
asphalt was very comfortable to the soles of my feet.
I told my wife that it "tasted like peppermint" to my
feet, mixing metaphors. Being BF conveys tactile rather
taste-bud sensations. But the wet asphalt felt cool,
moist, and refreshing--the tactile equivalent of the
taste of peppermint if my feet could only taste!

Re: After the rain
Fri, December 26, 2003 - 3:18 PMThe skies were gray and it was raining steadily here
on Christmas morning. I decided to walk to the nearest
newspaper vending machine to get my usual morning
reading matter. My hair didn't want to get wet, so I
brought along and used an umbrella. My feet did want
to get wet, so bare they remained. As I passed each
puddle in the asphalt, I walked through each one to
wish it a "Merry Christmas!"
