dry eyes to the skies

rain a memory

Sometimes everything has to be enscribed across the heavens so you can find the one line already written inside you. Sometimes it takes a great sky to find that small, bright, and indescribable wedge of freedom in your own heart. David Whyte

Well done, as always, and I love that stockdalewolfe used the phrase “sense image” — because that’s exactly how you write – with imagery that wakes up our senses. Fabulous expression of a drought — both in nature and personally. đ Just love your writing Paul!
