Beauty



It's been a while. A bit too long since I've had that yearning, that insatiable desire to write. I'm not exactly sure why. Busyness? Boredom? Lack of inspiration? Life's been okay. No, it's been good. But it feels as though I've lacked that excitement, that passion, that something special.

It came today, in the form of an amazingly strong, beautiful thunderstorm. I sat outside this afternoon, on my balcony, overlooking some pretty cool marshland and a stable in the distance. And as I sat out there, the storm began. It down-poured, the wind whipped around the building, the lightning flashed and the thunder sounded all around. And it was one of the most pure, untouchable beauties I've seen in a long time.

The storm cleared up after a good half an hour, the sky lightened, and the birds came out creating the perfect backdrop for a bit of relaxation.

It's once again storming, and I'm not sure it's ever going to get old. So simple, so powerful, so perfect. And I love every single second of it.
