Dear Friend (6)

Unplanned Rain
I ended up taking a full-on rain shower on the roof deck today. Moments later, I was having the time of my life, flinging water left and right with a tired old dustpan, just trying to stop the flood from turning the stairs into a slip-and-slide. Before I forget, I just wanted to say I really enjoyed your journal entries, especially the one where you described running barefoot in the rain. You made it sound like running away from homework. Now I just hope my little sister doesn’t read this and get ideas hahaha.

 


An Unplanned Pause Where Only the Heart Listens
I didn’t expect violin music to heal me today, but it did. Paganini’s Finale, Mozart’s Adagio K261, and Sarasate’s Caprice Basque. Listened once, then again, then again. And somehow, it washed over me, like standing in the rain and realizing I don’t want to run for cover. Do you like the sound of the violin? Have you ever, perhaps, fallen in love with a solo? I fell completely to Vivaldi’s Presto from Le quattro stagioni, and somehow, I never quite recovered.

 

I’ll write to you next time!
