Despite my restless night due to the heat and humidity, today has been glorious. It is raining for the first time in nine months. A soft steady rain that one can walk out into and soak up like a limp flower. I have been going through my days this week with a foggy mind and continual headache, desperate for the closeness in the air to break and a fresh breeze to cool the air. Today it’s as if the whole earth has come to life at once. Within half an hour I began to hear birds chirping for the first time since moving here. The entire garden, which has been hiding under a coat of dust, suddenly looks green and newly washed. Yes, today is a glorious day.
