high above me a huge bank of gray storm clouds gather. their brilliant electric smiles flash happily, their rolling laughter thunderously chimes as if they are all old friends that haven’t seen one another in many long years. as libations begin to flow I pause for a moment to briefly join the party, and I am joyously welcomed with several cool raindrops in my hand splashing down from the crowded sky. ...magic at my fingertips, each drop of rain a new miracle, an ocean in itself.
