2311


sky a perfect azure -
violent earth tremors
stay in yesterday

Yesterday? just another normal day for A Rainy Season. Heavy rain showers and overcast skies. The kind of rain you brave it with an umbrella, dodging chores in between the downpours. The back gate rattles, the gardener backs his car into the driveway. Armed with his paraphernalia of waka, blower, fertilizers; he works through the overcast. Leaving behind a neatly clipped and fertilized lawn and pruned bougainvillea.
All is well in the conscious minds of the nonscientific watchers. Rainy season days are like that

Until the Epicenters and such like begin their dastardly games. I read somewhere a long time ago a legend which say that there are giant turtles holding up earth and sometimes they get tired and then!! is us to catch. Earthquake of yesterday a 6.8 according to The Seismic Unit at St Augustine, though there have been reports from other sources of Magnitude 7.3 earthquake Affected countries: Grenada, Venezuela, and Trinidad and Tobago 22 km from Rio Caribe, Sucre, Venezuela · 5:31 PM

Something is going on with the world and its insane weather patterns. There is a very uneasy feeling everywhere.Hmmm...biblical thoughts are coming to mind.

Oh, I hope you all are safe out there.

So succinctly said, dear friend. The rains, the earthquake, all contribute to the natural way of your expression. Well-penned.

I didn't realize that the Caribbean islands were in an earthquake zone. There are a few rumbles occasionally in South Australia but there hasn't been damage for many years. Glad that all is well with you Gillena.

I imagine the heavy rain season as a refreshing yet frustrating one, which you describe as 'the kind of rain you brave with an umbrella, dodging chores in between the downpours' - I like the internal rhyme here, Gillena. And then to be hit with 'violent earth tremors'and their dastardly games is a double blow, meaning you have to say inside again! I hope you are OK, Gillena.
