Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.

Rain Here Comes the Rain...

The most beautiful Sunday morning!...Cool breeze touches my face as I sit and contemplate on what life has to offer...the smell of orange blossoms, red roses mixed with nature's own music of bird chirping in the trees...seemed as though life is serene and at peace...nothing more..nothing less...Will it be always be like this, I wonder?


Rain here comes the rain...dark and gloomy...sleepy tide...cool wind gusting through my windows...slept I did for a couple hours..Now awake and refreshed....nothing feel better than this...and it is still raining...Have not seen the rain for more than 8 months....

I bet the birds, bees, squirrels, and white tail deers are so happy to see this blessed on them.....Nothing is more precious than the gift of life - rain and water...

They dance and rejoice in the midst of the falling rain...

A sign of changing time, a time to rejuvenate and a time of inner reflection...

For they know that in this valley, it is not until another 8 months before we get another big one like this...how sad it may be?...yet it has been like this for centuries...They learned to adapt to the scarce resources they have around them.  

But it is human beings that created canals, waterways, dams to catch and conserve the falling rains and the melting icecaps in the Spring and mid Summer months so that this once dessert lands...now is an oasis that is green all year around.

Clouds come floating into my peace, carrying with it the rain, ushering the storm, and adding colors to my sunset sky. How my heart lingers and wants to see her beautiful face again....I could only imagine how she feels about me in day like this?

A reflection of this beautiful Sunday....(October 17, 2010)
