Are you sitting comfortably then I shall begin

I love days like this...sitting all snug inside while the rain lashes down outside. The rain bounces and thrashes against the window causing a gray haze so typically London in hue. I look out the window of my friends house in Bexleyheath and watch the puddles dancing with the April rain splashing and teasing the ground with their pattering and drumming. For once I feel at peace not fretting about what music needs preparing or who said what about who.... I am relaxed, comfortable, daydreaming; thinking of friends and how they are, wondering if this year will get better financially and thinking how gentle my heart is beating. This moment is a calm gentle moment. Work is a distant journey to be travelled in more than a week, I am free for the moment from the clatter of the thud thud thud of works grinding relentless sapping energy. This present peace is intoxicating and is breathing a new spirit of energy back into my soul. I cannot say why but sitting here looking through this window at the pounding rain seems the most natural and soul enhancing activity. It is hypnotic.
