It’s raining right now and I can’t quite remember if you like the rain or hate it, but I like it and it’s putting me to sleep.

The other night I went to bed a little earlier and woke up around this time to the sound of the rain on my window and it felt so peaceful that I would have stayed in that moment forever if I could have. Instead I just smiled and went back to sleep. When I woke up it wasn’t fully and in my half asleep state it felt like eternity stretched out there between the sound of each raindrop.

So I guess I did have a few seconds of forever there in my bed, in my almost sleep.
I guess eternity is the sound of the raindrops on my window.
