Mad Happiness


I began to notice of look of horror come over Meredith's face as we were finishing up lunch in a cafe downtown.  I turned around to see through the window oceans of water being released from the heavens.  We had no choice but to run through them, since there was a meeting she had to return to at work.  Completely unprepared, except for a take-out container that Meredith decided to use as a hat, we opened the door to the street and began sprinting through the sheets of rain.  We were SUCH renegades.

There's a quote that I've always loved from Nine Hills to Nambonkaha that says, "Rain is living breathing happiness.  Mad happiness."   It does feel like crazy joy when you embrace the rain, screaming and zigzagging through the streets - even barefoot (just one of us).  You are reminded that you're living, you're breathing and that it's nice to feel a little crazy sometimes.
