The calm before the storm...

Thats where I'm at right now. Just got home from my friend Jo's house (she and my other friend Smutsie are leaving for Denmark in the morning) and all the way home you could feel it growing in the air. It's powerful. Thunderstorms always leave me completely awestruck. But this, the moments just before a storm is even more intense for me. Everything goes dark, the wind picks up, the trees talking amongst themselves, people stop talking. You can feel the tension, that something is about to happen. Natures version of preparing to do great things. It speaks to me on a very basic level, to my body more than my mind. Truly grand.
