cover me in your canopy

Typical Ann Arbor rain today, furious and beautiful.

I have five umbrellas, none of which are with me now. And so I am hiding in an obscure building, oh so thankful that I have my laptop to occupy me while I wait for a calm in the storm. I began to wonder, when did I start minding the rain? Is it because I wonder farther from home now and can't change my drenched clothes? Is it because so many of my destinations are over air-conditioned and it's no fun being cold in the summer? I'm not sure. I haven't figured it out yet. But I do know that a couple of years ago it was no problem to walk down the street in the furious and beautiful rain and now I am waiting for it to pass.

I was waiting for the right moment to unveil it. It needed some coaching before coming out in society.
