A Wet Morning in Gondomanan

Indonesia
August 27, 2025 9:03pm CST
This morning, the sky hung gray over Gondomanan. Rain fell gently, like nature whispering, reluctant to wake the world. The cold air slipped through the window cracks, making a cup of coffee feel warmer than usual. Outside, the streets turned muddy and soaked. I had to walk more carefully, avoiding splashes and unexpected slips. Yet there was a quiet beauty in the small chaos wet leaves clinging to the pavement, the soothing sound of trickling water, and the fresh scent of earth after the rain. Though it was cold and messy, this morning offered a pause. As if the universe invited me to slow down, reflect, and savor the moments that often go unnoticed. Behind the window, I sat still, watching the rain as my thoughts wandered perhaps to childhood, perhaps to hopes not yet written.

Oh, how wonderful it feels to be able to imagine myself in the same situation.I'm a fan of walking in the rain, although I prefer to do it at dusk. It gives me a feeling of peace, calm, tranquility, serenity, it's as if you were walking next to God and no one could hurt you, and it actually invites you to reflect like never before in your whole life.

@Caurfebri More than with nature, also with ourselves, that's where all the ideas flow. On a good walk through the fresh air and smell of rain, I even get romantic, hahaha.
