I’m feeling a bit melancholy today, and I must say that it’s a feeling that I really care for. There’s something very peaceful about it, about feeling a sweet, languorous sadness. This morning I awoke at 5:15, having had a night filled with fitful sleep after two nights of no sleep, and upon exiting starbucks, was greeted by the first summer rain that I have experienced in over 6 years. The smell of the rain on the pavement and the earth after a period of hot dryness is one that I will never tire of. It’s as if the earth herself is opening up and calling out to the sky, and it fills me with a feeling that I can’t really describe.. partially sad, partially contented, but sweet. And I have made a playlist for a Rainy Day in Summer, to share.
