It would have been
impossible to shoot
a rooftop photo
yesterday
or the day before
because Long Beach
was deluged
with rain

As beautiful as this image is, the sky does look
ReplyDeletestrangely ominous and foreboding.
Ominous and foreboding in advance of 48 hours
Deleteof wet Hell in Long Beach. However...
I no longer believe the obvious cliche:
Everything happens for a reason.
I truly believe
Everything happens for TWO reasons.
The upside of this rainstorm is that
my sister telephoned her concern
about the weather and we spoke
for forty-five minutes during which
I re-awakened her forgotten memory
that our Father had worked at private parties
for Eleanor Roosevelt and Howard Cosell,
amongst other luminaries
