Meditation Monday: Alone on a Rainy Day

Las Vegas rain

clears the air of summer

and foretells autumn's arrival.

 

It is raining in Las Vegas. I look out  my front window and watch the raindrops his the black asphalt  of Sunrise Avenue. The rain transforms the street into a shiny ebony ribbon.

Each raindrop

carried by an angel

to the thirsty desert soil.

Rain is a necessary danger in the desert. It waters the plants and animals, while threatening them with flash food. There is a flash food watch in effect for parts of Las Vegas and Clark County.

I am alone

watching the rain

and listening to my refrigerator.

I don't mind being alone on a rainy day because I'm not lonely. I can look out the window and envision the angels carrying raindrop to the ground.

Humidity

sweltering and making

me think temperatures are higher.
