August 27, 2014 at 11:04PM Day 240: "The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected; I have always considered the rain to be healing—a blanket—the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water." - Douglas Coupland, Life After God #alexaphotoaday #august #themeofthemonth
