I want to be in the rain. not to sit out in the rain itself. i do not wish to be wet. i want to sit inside. i want to sit inside a castle tower, in the middle of a great forest that goes for miles. i want to sit and look out a window and feel the fresh air breeze on my face, i want to hear the pitter patter of light rainfall outside. to smell that smell. everyone knows that smell. i want to look up from a good book while sitting in a great big chair that surrounds me completely. and i want to look out at that rainy forest and see the rain fall. just watch it. watch it fall twice. once, as it comes from the clouds above, and a second time as the rain that didnt hit the ground falls from the trees, and makes a second trip. i want to look out and see that grey blanket of cloud above, extending far into the sky, making sure no blue appears. no thunder. no lightning. just the rain. a slight breeze. and the clouds. i want that escape. to look around and see nothing but peace. no tension within. or out. just peace, and solitude, and true comfort. that is what i want.
