A Day of Rain...

A rainy day is my favorite kind of day. It started raining here last night, and it's been raining all day today. Been enjoying the mood, and the creative energy I always feel on a day like today. So peaceful and centering. The first picture in this post is one I took early this morning. I needed to venture out to the grocery store, and was moved to snap some pictures at a marina not far from here. There were fog advisories on the weather channel. Couldn't pass up the opportunity. The rest of the post is just me spreading around the rainy vibe. Enjoy...

"The best kind of rain, of course, is a cozy rain. This is the kind the anonymous medieval poet makes me remember, the rain that falls on a day when you'd just as soon stay in bed a little longer, write letters or read a good book by the fire, take early tea with hot scones and jam and look out the streaked window with complacency."

~ Susan Allen Toth

"The rain began again. It fell heavily, easily, with no meaning or intention but the fulfilment of its own nature, which was to fall and fall."

~ Helen Garner

"There's always a period of curious fear between the first sweet-smelling breeze and the time when the rain comes cracking down."
~ John DeLillo

Is full of ghosts tonight, that tap and sigh

Upon the glass and listen for reply..."

without rain, there would be no life."

~ John Updike

Let's just go walking in the rain."

~ Billie Holiday

"I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other."

~ Billy Bob Thornton

so who am I to judge?"

~ Douglas Adams

"It always rains on tents. Rainstorms will travel thousands of miles, against prevailing winds for the opportunity to rain on a tent."
