Clear Thinking

“What if the nights gain on the days?”
“I hope the rain doesn't judge us too harshly.”
This is her way of thinking sometimes.

And it's what's kept me sane,
and here in the mornings.

Clear Thinking

Hello, Michael, 

I sense the simplicity of life in this. I tend to think similar thoughts - the wonderment of things beyond our control and how life can really only be lived in the present. 

Thank you,

L
