The Pouring Rain

Today my flip-flops broke so I was walking around barefoot. And I can’t express how amazing it feels to feel the earth under your feet. It seems like such a little thing yet it is so incredible powerful. It makes me feel closer to nature and therefore closer to God. On the way home from school today it was pouring down rain so my friends mom (our neighbor) gave me a ride home since our bus stop is a quarter mile away from my house. It felt so good sitting in the bed of a truck with the gentle breeze running through your hair and the gentle raindrops running down your face like crystals ready to break into a thousand little pieces before becoming part of a greater body of water. Maybe this place is starting to feel a little bit more like a home after all.
