honey and sting

It's raining so loudly on the roof (to be fair, the skylights) that I can't sleep.   It was so loud that initially I thought it might be hail, but no, just a very large amount of rain, very fast.

Earlier, thunder shook the house.  I went out the front door for a while to watch from under the overhang, and the lightning literally blinded me for a brief moment.  Vision went completely WHITE.  Guess that's what happens to dark-adapted eyes with bright lightning diffused over a sky full of clouds. 

WHITE.

No lightning now, or I wouldn't tempt fate by being online.  Just lots and lots and LOTS of rain.

Sometimes you just have to keep vigil, even if you don't know for what.

and i think it's great. :)
