Rain...rain...rain...

Glorious, wonderful rain...dark days, thunderous skies, flashing lightning coming almost down to the earth, and torrents, just torrents of rain....

I know Cal is not made to contend with so much rain---and there are huge, huge issues, heartbreaking happenings....

But the rain--Cal also looks so beautiful in the rain....there is one image that is fixed in my mind's eye - this young girl standing on the side of the road, knowing that she had no protection from the unrestrained rain, looking up smiling, with her arms wide open as if to welcome the rain as it poured down, flowing in rivulets around her feet...
