Coolness at Last

.

The Hot Season seems to be over – although it is always hot and humid in Thailand’s central plains.  We have been getting some rains, although not heavy downpours, and the cloud overcast is blocking the sun and cooling us off a bit.  I can tell that the worst of it is over because I am no longer applying Snake Brand Prickly Heat Cooling Powder, whereas I had been covering my sweat-soaked body with it four times a day for the almost eight-week period of grueling heat.

I always have an electric fan blowing on me, even at night, to keep mosquitoes away and to keep from being drenched in sweat.  But last night, for the first time in quite a while, I wore long pajama bottoms and a top with a hood.  It was so cold that I had to cover my bare feet before morning.

Blessed coolness.  Zen delight.
