Just one of those days...
So today has been just one of those days. Not exceptionally good or bad, just another day with stuff that has to get done. It has been threatening to rain all day. The sky is an overcast gray, filled with clouds, but just a sprinkle here are there has actually fallen. It is dark and ominous outside, charged with that feeling that something is about to happen, but you aren't sure exactly when. The wind is gusting and the wind chimes on the back porch are clanking, giving their chaotic warning. The storm threatens. It lurks. The hammock swings in circles over itself. Over and over and over again. I am drawn like a magnet to the sky. Just watching, waiting for what will happen. I know it will rain, so there is no suspense, but the question is when. It is as though I can't concentrate on anything else until my question is answered. When? I have many things I should be working on. Tasks to be completed. Some mundane, some exciting, some creative. But I can't seem to stop staring out the window, wondering when I will hear the first drop of rain? When? I know I should go and do something, but I find myself here, still, transfixed by the gray-black clouds rolling in. And I wait. For the rain. For the moment of "when".
