Maybe I shouldn't do Lit homework before bed.


Try listening to the rain. What is it saying?

Recently, I've realized the steady rhythm of the rain is my favourite lullaby. Slipping under the blankets on a stormy night, I peacefully slide the window open, inviting the subtle sound to pour into my room. The draft of crisp air whispers bed time stories of life and death, poverty and riches as well as loneliness and love. Affectionately receiving our sleepy souls, darkness restlessly cradles the world into its expected slumber. My blanket constantly comforts me; silently reassuring me that, at the end of the day, I will have all that I need. At every toss or turn my loyal stuffed animals serenade me with songs passed on through generations. Brilliance lies within the melody of the rain. It unites everything into a brilliant symphony and a humble poem. After letting the rain massage my memory, I always detect an upturned rainbow stretched across my cheek.

New.


September marks the beginning of a new school year. With a new year, why not begin a new blog? Leave all my quieries and ponderings of the previous year to gather dust in "Just Jump" and dive into untainted territory in "The good".

Ridding of last years mind set will open my mind to the new variety of challenges and opportunities of grade 12. The lessons from last year will not be forgotten, but they will not be focused on. No one likes to live in a rut.

Here's to moving forward and leaving the past where it belongs.
