To Live In That Moment

There is a moment just after a rainstorm where everything feels different.  More alive somehow.  The air is cooler and so thick that time seems to slow down slightly.  The blue of the sky is brighter and clearer, the greens and yellows of the grass are more vivid and deep, the greys and browns of the earth are richer and fuller. All bathed in the afterglow of new life.  The smells of man are washed away and replaced with new life and electricity.  This is how I feel when I see you.  This is how I feel when we take our turns at question and answer.  Like a rainstorm has just passed and everything is finally different.  More real somehow.  The world is softer and so fleeting that I hope time slows down.  The flow more free and easy, the words more truthful and heartfelt, the promises more solid and lasting.  All bathed in the ease of understanding.  The hurts of the past are washed away and replaced with new hope and fire.  There is a moment just after a skipped beat where everything feels different.
