I love storms.

They leave me speechless in awe and wonder until I laugh with sheer joy of being right in the middle of it.

I drove home from work with all my windows down and my hand out the window. It was pouring. The stinging seems so minute in comparison to the happiness that was surging through me. I had 'That Summer' blasted on my cd player while my tires spun at 65 mph across the rain that drenched the all too familiar streets.

The lighting was absolutely gorgeous.

Theres nothing like a storm.

They always make me appreciate life so much more. Even though I didnt think I could.

I cant explain how a storm makes me feel. Its one of those things that just completely consumes me. It takes over and all Im left with is this sense of total amazement with this world.

I wish that for everyone. To be able to take something so simple, like a thunderstorm. So un-materialistic. And be utterly happy. If even just for a moment. Everyone deserves that. If even just for a moment.

Garth Brooks - That Summer

I went to work for her that summer
A teenage kid so far from home
She was a lovely widow woman
Hell bent to make it on her own
We were a thousand miles from nowhere
Wheat fields as far as I could see
Both needing something from each other
Not knowing yet what that might be

'Til she came to me one evening
Hot cup of coffee and a smile
In a dress that I was certain
She hadn't worn in quite a while
There was a difference in her laughter
There was a softness in her eyes
And on the air there was a hunger
Even a boy could recognize

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

That summer wind was all around me
Nothing between us but the night
When I told her that I'd never
She softly whispered that's all right
And then I watched her hands of leather
Turn to velvet in a touch
There's never been a summer
When I have ever loved as much

We had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

I often think about that summer
The sweat, the moonlight and the lace
And I have rarely held another
When I haven't seen her face
And every time I pass a wheat field
And watch it dancing with the wind
Although I know it isn't real
I swear inside I feel
I'm in her hungry arms again

She had a need to feel the thunder
To chase the lightning from the sky
To watch a storm with all its wonder
Written in her lover's eyes
She had to ride the heat of passion
Like a comet burning bright
Rushing headlong in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burning both ends of the night

Rushing in long in the wind
Now where only dreams have been
Burnin' both ends of the night



Now where's Danny to complete my awesome day?!
