there are times when waking up to a steady rain fills me with an immediate, overwhelming sense of relief. the earth saying, “good morning; there is nothing i require of you today.”
so, i seek the coziest position inside a rambling mind; and once found, i absorb deeply the enrapturing comfort of its undemanding embrace. yesterday’s harsh reflections are disarmed and ready to reason. for once, urgency would rather roll the perfect joint. and dismissed daydreams will get their full due.
melancholy remains; it never goes far. but this generous permission, this delicate imploration of acceptance — the earth’s encouraging quid pro quos — well, it lulls tireless melancholy right to sleep. and set to peaceful dreaming.

In the video, I especially like the tiny moment at the end where the camera joggles, just for a split second, as you turn it off.
Dunno what that says about me.
Also — nice!
