forces of nature

I have felt the rains down in Africa. Thank you Toto's Africa!

Wild and electrifying storms of intensity that stop you in your mental tracks because any other thoughts are put on pause for one to be captivated by the driving force of nature. Rainy season has arrived, and with great furry does it unleash the heavens to the earth. The thunder is gigantic, the lightening illuminates the sky and the rain infiltrates the fabric of air. The rain is preempted by the darkening of the clouds and a chill in the air, and then BANG the thunder, the wind, the hail!! Its incredible, and all you can do is wait for the heavy rain to stop so you can carry on with your business. After the storm the clouds break and the sun shines hot again, so you better walk quickly before the next apocalyptic rain storm comes. It is so exhilarating, but I am told after a month of this the novelty will wear off and having wrinkly water logged feet will become a real bother. Until then I am relishing in nature and know the meaning of a proper rain storm!


Let us be Bright and Loud like the lightening and thunder in the skies:)
