If I were higher-minded, this would be about gratitude to the Source of all for, as Jewish liturgy puts it, mashiv ha’ruach umorid hagashem – causing the wind to blow and rain to fall.
And while I suppose the sustenance of this planet deserves some attention, this is really about how an overcast sky can get rid of the high contrast which complicates picture-taking in alleyways and narrow streets, and also bring out some colour.
And now that show-and-tell is over, let’s try some high-mindedness:
beautiful dear Lorne… wishing you every blessing as you seek out color and light, and most especially when they arise unbidden to brighten your days and nights.
Those are wishes I will happily take, Laura.
Thanks so much.
