Lift your Face Thursday, April 21, 2005 Finally started raining last night. I asked my friend Kat to send me some, and I think she did...last night the wind howled, and the cross draft from my windows, set perpendicularly to each other, made the wind chimes and crystals bang against the window panes enough that I went and took them down, worried that I'd chipped one of them. It blew my hair in my face while I typed, and sometimes it carried faint cold drops of rain, when it actually started to fall. My emotions are connected to the weather...the wind stirs my soul, a wild rain makes me want to run outside, makes me feel the wildness in my own heart. I felt hyper and restless last night, but it has gone, thanks to this morning's balming rain. It's a soft day as I believe they call it in the UK, not a sprinkle but a steady fall that made me go outside before I dressed for work and lift my face to the sky. I want tea, I think, a good book, my soft blanket, and a window to sit by. But instead I shall pester you. The only downside is that the wind might have beaten up my two tulips...I hope not. I have three coming up, and I look forward to them so much. One is scarlet, and has a sheen like silk, the other used to be one of those yellow and red stripped tulips, but is now reverting so it's yellow with an orange-red patina. The third promises to be ruffled, which is an enigma, because I though the parrot tulips went the way with my beautiful black as night not just deep purple Queen of the Nights. The daffodils and narcissi are going already, but I still have the irises, I think, to look forward to. I transplanted a bunch, and they look like they are doing so much better...but I doubt I'll get any flowers from them this year, but maybe the blue ones. I really like tulips though, and crocus. They come when you are not expecting them, they die off early so that you forget where they were, and then, magically, appear like small treasures. And yes. I am all better now. I just needed to write it all out of my system. Now I can go about being alive again. Permalink Cindy scribed this at 8:22 AM 2 comments
