Rain is my go to, when I am scattered, when I dream of sleep that eludes me.

Sometimes I’ll play rain on an app, and while I like it, and it reminds me of the rain of my childhood, it isn’t the same.

Real rain, now that’s a blessing.

Sounds like we have that in common.

Yes. I’ve tried the app too, and it really isn't the same. There's just something about the real thing.

I loved Rain. As I listened, I felt like I was there, feeling every word and emotion. Your voice made it even more beautiful and touching. Thank you for sharing such a special piece. 💜 Mahshid

I loved this piece. I tried the audio version, to hear you reading it - which was great but I couldn't get the sound loud enough (it's probably an issue with my computer) /// and as I read this poem, over and over, I had two reactions. The first, that it resonates for me - on those nights when sleep eludes me, and the second - how much I enjoy the diversity and range of your writing, because it's remarkable to find a writer we like who offers the range and diversity in their writing. Keep up the great work. Cheers, Mark

I'm so glad you loved it, Mark! I checked the audio recording (it was very low) and reloaded it. It's fine now. Thanks for pointing it out. By the way, I enjoyed your daily travelogue very much! Can't wait to hear more after you've had time to process it all.
