The Northwest climate has me reflecting today:
At 20 years of age, I moved out. I relocated 700 miles and another state away from my family and friends to attend college. That first summer on my own had some extremely lonely days. It allowed moments for reflection on my values and relationships. Armed with a handful of new CDs, the songs contained on them have become my soundtrack for that time of self-discovery.
The thing I remember most was the introduction to a monsoon rain storm. Most rain I had experienced was a day or week long event. These were one and two hour cloud and lightning bursts that leave as fast as they enter. The result is an amazing cleansing of everything. These songs further engrained the feeling of enlightenment for me that summer of ‘93.
