Rain
Heavy afternoon, 2.45 p.m. Sitting behind my office desk, typing. Suddendly heavy raindrops smash on the ground. I turn off the music and open the nearest window to listen to it. Isn’t it just peaceful?
5.30 p.m. Raining for the second time today. I open the balcony doors and all the windows, lie down, close my eyes and get some rest. Bliss.
Light evening. Summer humidity was making it impossible to predict whether you’ll be able to catch your breath or not. Cycling was off today for that same reason. Perfect as well.
I stand up, my bare feet touch the ground and make gentle sounds as they move across the room. That’s all you can hear, no other sounds. Wide open the window and feel a soft blow of evening air. I stand by it for a couple of seconds, watching city lights and hearing cars looking for a parking spot. Someone just took their dog out for a walk.
Small but quick steps back to bed.
Sigh. I’ll leave the window open all night. I hope it rains again.
How far would you go if you knew it was not your turn? How far would you go if you thought it would all crash and burn?
Yes, the world does look different, spicy or not, but a bit different when you haven’t had enough sleep. Clock turns ’round in a strange manner, eyesight may be blurred (but isn’t, of course; you wear glasses just as a precaution), coffee tastes more … more natural. Even though smell may be diverted, coffee is gold.
Choosing between two great things is actually not that amusing. Let’s skip the part when we have to state that it’s better than choosing between two bad things. And the fact that you do have to make a choice. Let’s also skip the part when you say “go with the inner feeling”. It’s two equally exciting great things, remember? Your inner feeling goes towards one today, but towards the other one tomorrow. That’s not really helpful now, is it? So how do you decide?
You’re probably familiar with things sometimes going JUST WRONG (I feel you, sister/bro). When it all starts you don’t even notice. And as soon as you notice, you (at least I) try to deny it. But when it all ends, there’s no going back. Hits you in the face.
they make a funny sound during the making - kind of like “wave your hands like you just don’t care”


Biking, to be exact.
