Title: Chasing the rain (Another post for today)
Wednesday, February 25, 2009 @ 3:50 AM
Have you ever tried chasing rain? finding that one moment, that one place, where everything seems to stop, where the world ceases existence in color? have you ever tried to discover that veil of water that comes down, blurring everything beyond it in shades of gray, wrenching it all in watery despair? or have you ever seen the rain, washing away your doubts and fears, cascading clarity in an instant? surely, that divide between the wet and the dry transcends more than just that.
i want to chase rain.
random thoughts from driving through a downpour yesterday.
EDIT: just thinking about it, i think this is a horrible piece, in the sense that i didn’t really get across what i wanted to get across. there is that certain amount of mystery, in wondering what it looks like to be standing on the edge of a downpour. Surely you know there is such a thing, but a downpour is so encompassing, that it seems to be impossible to find a space to stand and stare at at the divide between wet and dry, to look up and see rain coming down in front of you, but not on you.
it’s a chase, definitely, but one that just seems to be hard to comprehend. or explain. so i tried, weakly, and frankly, if you didn’t get it, and only got it after reading this, thats fine too.
and i just realised its another great metaphor for anything you want.Piggies are so kawaii!!!
