Love... Reign on me

 
Went for a walk with the animals..
 When one of us were too far behind, we beckonned for the others to wait up.  When one of us wanted to get going, we communicated that also.  Bandit, the border collie and Nick, the black cat, are very challenging walking buddies. They force me to continue on and stay on track.  The woods seemed full of gifts on this 40 degree morning.  Dew hung from the trees on every single leaf, and as the wind blew, the dew rained down on us.  It felt as if the trees were raining love on us.  I began to sing, the woods felt alive with its own music, keeping me in tempo. 
The words of The Who song came instantly to mind: 
Only Love, can bring the rain that falls like tears from our eyes…. Love! Rain on me! 
Trees continued to rain their love and I paused arms outstretched to catch this love that I yearn for.  A single leaf teetered in the air, dropped into my hand in ease.. A gift from the Tree Gods, saturated with dew/love juice.  With nothing left to sing, nothing left to say, I accepted this gift.
