The rain in Africa
Missing someone or missing something can be a real painful event!
Like this morning when I woke up with this void inside me, refusing to open my eyes as I searched for the sound and feeling of rain drops in Africa. It is unexplainable the sense of being in the midst of jungle and rain, interrupted often by heavy thunder then silence - total silence! Then quickly come the flying ants and a beautiful rainbow at the other side of the mountain. The sun smiles again like a child that just played a prank on his parents, and we can't help it but to smile back in awe! I miss it almost desperately. In the morning, on my way to work, I greet the rubber plant at my front door and I see the whole Africa in a vase! Somehow, I thing the plant greets me back in its own way - I prefer to believe that such is true...
above all, I miss you!

Hi there I'Sanji,
How are you?
I know what you mean!! (laughing)
Hugs back!
Tony,
I miss the fact that when it rained there you could go out, get drenched, and you never felt miserable. It was over so quickly! Here, when it rains it can go on for days, it chills you to the bone and leaves you totally depressed!

Flor,
That is so true! In a way it was the drastic changes that gave it such a special je ne sais quoi! It allowed us to appreciate the beauty of nature by presenting us with a little bit of it all in only a few moments! And the aroma... wasn't that great?
