It's still dark outside, as it is very early here still. As I sit here at the computer, I listen to the quietness of the house, an occassional cough from one of the children, a T.V. left on by our 18 year old son, who no doubt talked and texted himself to sleep with his new friend who also happens to be a girl, my husband snoring, a phone alarm going off somewhere downstairs, the wind gently blowing through the pines outside my window, and the rain.
It started as a gentle drizzle, then to a more noisy down pour, then like a waterfall pouring down out of the sky, then back to a noisy down pour, and then to the gentle drizzle, then silence like the still darkness of the outside.
In a few short hours, the house will come alive again, as the kids get up, showers are taken, food is eaten, my husband resumes his endless typing on the computer behind me...and I shall reflect on the beautiful sounds of the rain that fell outside of my window, and gave me a small sense of peace.
