Rainy Day.
Low on gas, but still using what's left to get away.
Coffeeshop.
Grande Pike's Peak with sugar, honey, and cream.
Window seat.
Watching the fog tear away from the dark mountains.
I don't know what I have more in common with right now;
Clouds or Mountains.
Clouds: rising from the earth to a white sky, leaving behind the known solid ground only to drift... leaving their tears behind.
Mountains: standing strong on their foundations despite the storms washing around them. Dark against the white sky, seeming mournful to see the clouds fly away.. not wanting them to go, but knowing they must.
Or
...
Was it the Rain?
There is one thing that Rain makes me think of... Gratitude. I've spoken of it before, but just to remind, it is a song about Taking what God has given as provision and Thanking Him for it even though it may not have been the way You thought He should have provided. Understanding that He has the BEST understanding of needs... NEEDS (not wants).

Up, up, and away..
Took four planes in two days, for trips that I will write about at a later date.
But the thought came to me as the plane sailed over the clouds I so obviously am intrigued by.
To a cloud, the world is not seen in detail! Instead of all the crazy life happenings and stresses of the little things, Clouds have a "big picture". How blessed would I be if I took time to step back from all my anxieties and looked at the big picture, remembering that I am not in control but that My God is.
The coolest part about it is that even in the darkest of circumstances, in looking at things in the long run, I'm able to see God's fingerprints and that there was light all along the way!!! I just didn't recognize it at the time, or wasn't looking for it.
...like a starry sky upside-down. Heaven HAS come to Earth.. He's in You

Tut, Tut, Looks Like Rain
Last weekend was all planned out... but then the winds of change, as they often do,... blew.
It all started Thursday.
I was..shall we say.. under the weather. I had spent up all the night before writing an essay for class, and for some reason was completely drained of my usual electricity.In short, I called in sick to work out of town, went home and slept it off.
The next day (Friday) was not as light and cheery as the day before, but by the end of it, my attitude was just as damp. Early in the day I was able to hang out with a new spark,and though the rain fell, my sun was shining. That is.. until the spark's old flame sputtered in out of the rain.
My jealousy thundered a little, but I realized the silver lining in the time I'll have in later months.
Saturday saw new light as we drove out from under dark clouds toward a fun evening. Unfortunately, that bright evening was unpredictably soggy in the end.Not to say it wasn't fun. After all, the bands boomed, and the crowd was electrified, but as we evaded puddles going to my car, I was vaguely aware of some static between the two fires.
The clouds grew darker as night set in and the thunder rolled on.
Sunday was just that.. SUN DAY. Not much to puddle over, except my longing to be out in the sunshine while being chained to homework.
Since then, we've discussed some details and come to the decision that the charge between them is still strong. I respectfully withdrew. Though I must say that, the eye of the storm within was beating out a calm, yet sincere message. "Not in the end." Meaning... this spark will never burn past the waterline.
It turns my mind to another storm .. one that has slowly grown quieter over time.. but never truly dissipated. A FIRE so fierce, no rain, no snow, no hurricane could quench. I can't seem to cover up the burns it left... and to those scars I bend. I dream of moon drenched nights where Orion has fought every cloud from the sky and the only wind is from our breathing in unison, as we gaze at a flawless sky. Her secretive eyes are burned in my memory, as is a whirlwind of greetings and goodbyes,but until the day I don't have to wait anymore,... I'll take the sun. I'll take the rain.
Perhaps this weekend will be one that God calms, but who am I to say. I'm just * * *
