"The really nice breezes blow through my body and into my soul." ~Astrid Alauda

 
"The best kind of rain, 

of course, 

is a cozy rain.  

This is the kind 

the anonymous medieval poet 

makes me remember, 

the rain

that falls on a day 

when you'd just as soon stay in bed 

a little longer, 

write letters 

or read a good book by the fire, 

take early tea 

with hot scones 

and jam 

and look out the streaked window 

with complacency." 

~Susan Allen Toth
