Small Boy's bus now comes 20 minutes earlier, so we have to be out the door at 7 AM. It's hard going for my daily two mile walk in the park on gloomy days so soon after dawn.  This morning it was raining.  I don't really care if it's raining: I wear a raincoat and I can change my shoes when I get home, but it does make the air sort of clammy to

That sounds lovely. I have had similar days - just something small can make so big a difference.

Yes! Sometimes there is a roar of rain but no water seems to be falling. Here, it's the pines and tall oaks still letting go the water. The water on the open ground is still, with the roar of "rain" all around.

Such small moments are what we hope we can see in every moment, if only we could. [insert Zen stuff here]
