Picnic in the woods!

Today is so beautiful; it is the perfect day for a lazy start and then a bike ride into the woods for a picnic lunch and then a lazy read lying in the grass munching on an apple. The weather is perfect; there can be nothing better than a grey sky full of nimbus clouds, with rain just waiting to descend down from the heavens, the smell of rain in the offing, the breeze swishing in the trees, blowing into the leaves and woo shooing making them whisper in loud voices overhead.

With the rains, the sky becomes over cast and darkens and the birds all confused, start twittering around and fly back home, thinking it’s a weirdly early end to the day. Then the raindrops in sheets of a drizzle begin their swaying dance and the wind plays into the rhythm, the sound of loud gusts in the ears, the feeling of the raindrops dancing on your body and the skin tingling in response.

The idea of being sprawled on a mat lying amidst the grass and staring at the sky or reading lazily and just letting your thoughts flow, unending never interrupted, just you and your thoughts, what a feeling! I wish I could just get out of this chair, rush out of office and ride or drive off, far away into the rain and blend in with the breeze and soak in the fragrance of Gaea.
