Give Thanks for the Rain...
...for its inconvenience, that reminds us of us our creaturliness, as we scurry for cover
...for its abundance, that tops off our water tables, which are the envy of a thristy world
...for its cleansing, that washes body and soul, if we will but hold our breath and plunge into its coldness

This morning Jen and I went running, I was hoping for a downpour, but no such blessing. The fog was nice-uh and a little creepy. Have you ever seen "Unsolved Mysteries"? The fog was that "Unsolved Mysteries" kind of fog (the fog appears in the intro during the creepy music). Shudder.

Fog in the dark is rather creepy, otherwise I am a big fan, provided I am not needing to drive fast. When the clouds were heavy and swept over the tops of the Hiimalayan foothills of my youth, I always loved it. I suppose it was not strictly fog, but the same effect was produced. It often felt to me like a great big hug from God, like sinking into some large soft folds of a robe.
