Simple Pleasures: Cool Rain with a Breeze

.

It is a mixed bag.  Typhoon Gaemi, from the Pacific, threatens to flood us this weekend, and we are on edge and alert.  Yet this evening’s cool rain relieved us after an afternoon of oppressively hot tropical sun.  When the hard rain started after sunset, I stepped out of our hot quarters to batten down the hatches (windows, doors, etc.) and bring in the laundry, and I was hit by not only the thunderous sound of torrential rain but also by the rush of fresh cool air as the cloudburst filled the air.  It was a shock, a very pleasant one, and I paused to relish it.

Blessed coolness.  Zen delight.
