I love when storms.
I've said it before and I'll say it again.
I love storms.

Today's storm features lightning that shoots through the sky.
Lightning so fast and beautiful.
You have a moment to enjoy one beautiful moment and then another follows right at its heels.

Rain is lightly tapping on my window.
Nothing overwhelming, a gentle touch, as if the water falling from the sky wants me to acknowledge that it is here beside me.

A storm like this is too beautiful to ignore.
So I walked outside.
The rain quickly made my shirt heavy.
But as the magic water from the sky weighed me down, I couldn't help but feel free.

I can't quite figure it out, but there is something joyous in the simplicity of allowing yourself to be swallowed in the sounds of a summer storm.
