A Rainy Rainy Day

It's the kind of rain that you wish weren't so hard...then it would be perfect to jog in.


Typically rainy days bring thoughts of spring, newness and life. Today's rain had quite a different affect. Today's rain is more the contemplative type; allowing for a day full of thinking and questioning, reflecting and processing. Always a necessity.

Much like a hermit, I retreated to my homeless little room as soon as the work day was complete. Time was spent sowing, cleaning and reconnecting to a favorite: Sujfan Stevens.

Days like these make me thankful for friends, family and life. Rain like this makes me thankful for time spent alone and reflecting.



Sufjan Stevens
Chicago


I fell in love again
all things go, all things go
drove to Chicago
all things know, all things know
we sold our clothes to the state
I don't mind, I don't mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

I drove to New York
in a van, with my friend
we slept in parking lots
I don't mind, I don't mind
I was in love with the place
in my mind, in my mind
I made a lot of mistakes
in my mind, in my mind

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

if I was crying
in the van, with my friend
it was for freedom
from myself and from the land
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes
I made a lot of mistakes

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
all things know, all things know
you had to find it
all things go, all things go

you came to take us
all things go, all things go
to recreate us
all things grow, all things grow
we had our mindset
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things know, all things know
(I made a lot of mistakes)
you had to find it
(I made a lot of mistakes)
all things go, all things go
(I made a lot of mistakes)
