Blue blue sky …. rain drops caged in the grass … the shy sun hiding behind the passing clouds displayed its brilliance once in a while. As I lay on my back in the field, I remembered the days of my childhood. They were full of innocent fun and simple delights. Life was never an incessant chore. Everyday brought something new or maybe just the idea of something new made it exciting. There were the times we waited for the rain to stop and the sun to shine back to resume playing. The wet grass tingled and cushioned my bare feet. Ah .. it felt so good. The memory of my feelings started seeping into me as I closed my eyes to hear the insects going about their daily chores. The smell of rain evokes a strange emotion within me. I feel happy and lonely at the same time. “Beautiful” is the only word that describes it.

Rabbit! .. I heard a shout from behind. It shook me out of my sojourn and I leapt to my feet to notice nothing. The rabbit had returned to its wonderful world underneath before I could catch a glimpse of it…. I got back to my car and drove home. It was a strange day. A quiet day. A beautiful day.
