It rained today.
It was a good day.

I remember how people came out and danced in the streets when it rained in India;
How they would give a portion of all that they had to the fire ceremony
All that they coaxed from the soil or milked or crafted with their hands
So there would be life-giving rain.

The fire used to light the fire pit
Was maintained and handed down
Generations upon generations back.

So much power in that,
I could barely hold up my own head
Or walk around the fire one more time
And then it rained.

This song immediately came up whilst I was writing this.
We are all made of stars...
Essential

And here is a ceremony of a different sort in this vid clip
Feeling and creativity... Life emerging as itself: empty, full, emptied, filled
Production values go in different directions  ;) 
Intent focus on giving....
Intent focus on giving.
Celebration, boredom, style... yearning for
Differences that meet at the root of things.

What comes naturally in every case - Life.
I sense somehow; could be wrong, but?

Rain

Rain on the windows
Early, safe, warm, dry indoors
Wish I was sleeping.

"Rendevous"

There's a Beatles cover band named, 'Rain,' nay?
We're going to hear them in June.

I have 1,000 pairs of earplugs, so I should be set.
Anyone need some?
That's really a long story, and not worth the telling.
Just more stuff  that needs decluttering.
