THE BLOOD TRAVELS
15) Sometimes everything seems to be going o.k. Nice weather, good pair of
shoes, money in your pocket, The sun is just shining all over you. But we all
know it's gotta rain some time. Someone's bound to say; well it's good for the
crops. You need the rain for things to grow. But, it's easier to accept the
fact that the plants need the rain. A man on the other hand don't exactly love
the rain. Sure some do, They like the sound of it or the smell of it. But
that's usually on a Sunday in the late afternoon. Most of the time it rains on
you when you gotta get some where or do something that is going to be hindered
by the fact you are soaking wet. Sitting on a porch looking across a lush
green lawn watching rain pour down on the trees while the water cascades off
the roof ain't half bad. But, it don't always come down like that. I knew a
girl once who said she hated nice sunny weather. Said it obligated her to do
things. Everybody says, It's such a nice day outside we need to do something.
Her complaint was on a nice day your meant to feel guilty if you don't do
anything. She's got a point. Regardless. You need the rain. There's nothing
like sitting on that porch in June watching the rain pour down at dusk. Sure
as hell beats "do'n something" on a sunny day. Picnics are over rated, they
are disguised work. If you're lucky you'll get a clap of thunder and the
lighting rolls in. On that sunny day you'll get sun burned or heat exhausted.
Looking out from that porch in the rain everything just seems o.k. Specially
if your lucky enough to have a dog that's afraid of thunder, the way they
huddled up next to you, makes you feel like you have it all under control.
Sometimes are better than others, sometimes, come rain, come shine. That is
fact. At some point you gotta accept that. Some time it rains, sometime it
don't. Sometimes the rain is good; sometimes it's not. Many foolish people get
upset or change their condition depending on the weather conditions. They
forget any moment it will all change and the clouds dry up and the rain goes
away and the sunshine falls down. Sometime the sun don't make it better, that
heat makes it worse or maybe it's just the same but the scenery changed. Do
you get off the porch and walk around in the sun now that the rain has stopped
or do you take a nap and wait for it to rain again. He fished around in the
breast pocket of his coveralls to find a coin. He didn't find a coin but a
token from the arcade it a had a horseshoe on one side and a four leaf clover
on the other. He was there from a summer long past when they spent the month
up at the lake and it rained the whole time. They spent all day in the arcade
on the boardwalk playing games and drinking pink lemonade. He rubbed the coin
between his finger and thumb before he flicked it into the air he missed it
coming down and it hit the ground. He looked but could not see if it was heads
or tails, heads would have been the horseshoe by the way. He decided not to
pick it up but, he'd become too fat. He decided to stay put and have a little
nap. As his head fell back in the chair and he began to snore the roof began
to pitter pat with a sun shower that soon turned into an all out rain. This
day was better than others. And that was definitely on account of the rain.
