I'm sitting at my desk at work looking out the window at the thin lines of rain. I have a good view: there is a large hill directly across from the school, and right now everything is green and beautiful with early summer. A nice respite from the hammerlike sun as of late.
I'm grateful to the rain. We've been in a drought lately, so it is more than welcome. And as I have to go to a funeral tonight in my wife's hometown of Eumseong (Korea), the drab grayness of the day is somehow fitting.
The funeral reminds me to be mindful. You never know when your next breath might be your last, so why not enjoy your life, or at least pay attention to it, when you have a chance?
