One of my favorites. So many good images, but for some reason the one that sticks in my mind is "I smelled green."

I let myself sink right into this beautiful scene. I can feel and smell it. Thank you. Weather, a favorite thing. Perfectly done. 💚

I love the metaphor you created, connecting thunderous rain with deep pain, and a pause and a break in the storm with a reprieve and peace. Beautiful.

This is so TODAY. We had a nice summer storm yesterday that settled to dust and ash of seasonal wildfires and brought a welcome breeze and cooler air. Today my windows are open.
