I sit in total darkness in my home. 2:46am. I can feel the city is asleep around me. I close my eyes. I try to fall asleep. A few minutes pass and the sound of booming thunder makes my open my eyes wide. Flashes of lightning precede deep bass rattling thunder that echoes seconds after each strike. I feel at peace. The sound of hard, heavy rain follow the rapid lightning strikes. It sounds like chaos outside. The thunder sounds to be right outside my door. I feel safe.
I love moments like these. Moments when I realize I'm not in control. Moments when it sounds like the world is falling apart. and you realize, it's beautiful. It's rhythmic and perfect. Massive, powerful and unpredictable.
I curse migraines, especially when I have to sit up in the middle of the night because the pain is so intense that I can't lay down. But I didn't mind it too much last night. While everyone was sleeping, I was listening to the storm. and I was calm.
Beautiful. :)
