... living in the valley, you get a unique view of thunderstorms arriving... like the other night... it started off in the distance... 30 miles away and slow out on the horizon... the sky flashed for almost an hour before the sound of the thunderclaps were ever close enough to be heard...
... and as it settled over the house, the rain came... hard, slanting rain... and the sound of thunder booming the very same instant that the lightning flashed.. pure closeness..
... sometimes I think that Mother Nature doesn't have a subtle bone in her body... we often think we see it in sunrises or gentle breezes, but we're wrong... subtlety is a manmade idea... we humans dreamt it up as a tool for civilizing each other... Mother Nature may abhor a vacuum.. but she fucking despises a weakling... in like a lion, she comes... and she sure ain't gonna apologize about it...
you got that right eric ... rumbles and rain this morning, and i was thinking the same thing, but without the gorgeous view.
Bullshitted by justrose on July 25, 2005 10:38 AMI think Mother Nature is just moody and changes depending on how she is feeling. I have seen beautiful sunrises and thunderstorms as well as horrible sunrises and thunderstorms. Hmmm. Maybe it is my perspective? GRIN

Bullshitted by Maeve on July 25, 2005 11:50 AMShe is a beauty, but you're right... she can jack you up if you ain't mindful of what she can do. Hell, even then she can take ya.
BTW- I did realize that I used the word. Heheh...
