I insert a couple of rainy Oxford photos from this Spring because I think Oxford glistens and is most beautiful in the rain. As I sit here now in the tropical heat of Florida (in months of drought) I am dreaming of the cooler air and chilly rain of Oxford. I'd love to go take a walk along the Turl and through the Bodleian Library quadrangles as the gentle pitter patter of raindrops splash onto my umbrella, or my jacket hood. I will turn the corner and duck into a coffee shop to read with a coffee for a bit.
Reminiscing Rain
Recent days have been stark and drear
Recalling desert lands not near
On a particularly grey scale sky day
I dreamily reminisce the hours away
Recalling gentle raindrops falling
Chorus of a cloudburst heard the calling
Joining in the landscape symphony
As all of nature rises to see
This utmost essential gift from above
Fills nourishing elements to all we love
And can remind us in a spiritual sense
Gifts inviting us into transcendence.
