How beautiful living with stars for eyes and seeing all possibilities! And being truly alive under the rain

Yes, it's something to aspire to indeed. And rain has been coming up for me lately because we're in the rainy season which is when the desert comes back to its green life again. It's a beautiful transformation. Thanks much for reading and for your comment, Casandra. Always appreciated!

"A large truck rolled past, but it was southbound, and had no reach."

It is the Northbound trucks that you need to be wary of in this story. So much to provoke thought here as usual, Victor. I will read it again and perhaps again.

Another instant classic, Victor. I really enjoyed this story, I felt like you had fun writing it. May we all have an unreasonable bias towards life.

Oh yes, I did have fun with it. Many thanks for checking it out and your comment, Mike. Let's keep that bias going!

"Owen and the girl raised their faces to the wet heavens, and breathed great moist gulps." Sounds like you. Victor! : )
