this is a fast moving and fantastic late summer storm, a flash of unexpected and needed rain
that comes along swiftly and with huge nourishing drops just as sunrise colors are absolutely peaking 
it causes a beach umbrella to topple over amid the late season rosa rugosa thicket, while a wedge of swans take flight, ALL OF THESE  living things, together joining the glorious movement of impermanence- 
impermanence being the sacred, unsettled, yet exquisite landscape that we all share
