I hold this to be the highest task for a bond between two people:

that each protects the solitude of the other.
~rainer maria rilke

life is what happens to us while we are busy making plans.

i love rain.

i love the way she conveniently falls out of the sky at the most appropriate times, showing her face for mere moments, before disappearing without a sensible explanation. i love the way she brightens up a child’s day by providing puddles of mud whose sole purpose is to stain a perfectly clean shoe. i love the way she washes away the sorrow in our lives and graciously offers new beginnings. i love the way she rearranges our superlative schemes, forcing us to take an unexpected approach and find a more creative way of doing things. i love the way she furnishes the most splendid backdrop for lovers to do whatever it is lovers do. i love the way she promises (and eventually delivers) blue skies and sunshine.

AND, i like people who smile when it is raining.
