To the Stormy Weather @ 2:54 PM

Sometimes all it takes is a little getting wet to realize that the storm is only here temporarily. Walking home in the rain without an umbrella, I thought about how I am a miracle and you are a miracle. We are each other's miracle.

Think about it. We may stare at the same moon as someone else across the world, but to think that we are here on the same land and our paths have crossed multiple times and that you are my friend and I am yours. Oh.

How we are even here in the first place is beyond what anyone can explain. Whether you credit science, praise God, or believe in nothing at all, you can't deny that you being here was against all odds. The fortuitous genetic mutations that may have led you and us and homo sapiens where we are in the midst of technological miracles, the formulation of the universe and how the hell earth came to be so nourishing, was against all odds. Fate could have happened another way and we never would have experienced any of this so called life.

Wake up tomorrow and realize that you have been given another day. Yesterday is no longer yours except for the memories you have saved. What is yours is today and the hope of tomorrow.

Happy living.

Well, baby, I've been here before
I've seen this room and I've walked this floor
You know, I used to live alone before I knew ya
And I've seen your flag on the marble arch
And love is not a victory march
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
-Jeff Buckley- "Hallelujah"
*Great song. Listen to it.
