It's really pretty, so I thought I'd tale some inspiration from the "color I remember" theme and write about he people out here in the rain: drops of humanity Rain falls . People hurry under the water as it reflects the city lights. I look up and see the little drops of light falling slowly to earth, kissing the gray cement and old city grates along the walkway. The lucky ones with umbrellas walk slowly, savoring escape from the ordinary. Others rush past them, seeking shelter from an uninvited intrusion. A small girl listens curiously to nature’s first lullaby: the golden rain, staccato drops hitting the ground. Under my street lamp I see the amber drops cascading down around me and I wonder at the reactions of people walking by, their stories having changed with the appearance of unforeseen weather. In each face I see the same lost expression. Did this rain halt their evening and leave them stranded? Or did it wake them from a daydream they had been caught in far too long, opening their blurry eyes to the world for the first time in years? Lost people, wandering down a wet street, trying to remember how they got here. One by one, they fall back asleep and hurry on. But a few stay, looking up at the halcyon raindrops welcoming them home. it’s raining like crazy here, and the light hitting the rain makes it look like gold.

drops of humanity

Rain falls .
People hurry under the water as it reflects the city lights. I look up and see the little drops of light falling slowly to earth, kissing the gray cement and old city grates along the walkway.

The lucky ones with umbrellas walk slowly, savoring escape from the ordinary. Others rush past them, seeking shelter from an uninvited intrusion. A small girl listens curiously to nature’s first lullaby: the golden rain, staccato drops hitting the ground.

Lost people, wandering down a wet street, trying to remember how they got here. One by one, they fall back asleep and hurry on.

But a few stay,
looking up at the halcyon raindrops welcoming them home.

I liked to read it. After a short reflecting period I asked myself, what would you like to say with it? It sounds like fiction, but I think you want it to have a deeper meaning. I am writing a short expose about questions in life. From my point of view, it is not possible not to lie. As sad as it is, and it usually always leads to disaster, even if you lie to protect someone else, trust me. BUT: Anyone can start to tell the truth, beginning with questions you ask yourself. If you want, I can send you some. Best wishes Jay Hy Allison,

And here is my humble contribution by way of a thank you: Yellow And Blue Are The Colours That I Remember ... The garish but bold stripes on the rugby shirt (jersey) I proudly wore for my senior (high) school's rugby union First XV. Rugby union is all about teamwork - the whole being far, far greater than the sum of the parts - so I cannot separate the blue from the yellow, nor do I dare to choose one over the other. Such pride that I felt; such an honour to be allowed to join the elite; such sheer, physical, visceral, primitive joy in taking part; striving to win for the full eighty minutes; elation in victory, commiseration in defeat; fully alive, fully belonging! Always driving the ball onwards towards the goal! Never giving up! Respect for, and trust in your co-workers! Respect for the referee! Respect and honour for, and communion with your worthy opponents! All great life-lessons for a young man to lean - precious memories, treasured wisdom, great days indeed.

Yellow And Blue Are The Colours That I Remember …

The garish but bold stripes on the rugby shirt (jersey) I proudly wore for my senior (high) school’s rugby union First XV.

Always driving the ball onwards towards the goal! Never giving up! Respect for, and trust in your co-workers! Respect for the referee!

I think many of us have done sth,not exactly the belly piercing thing or a tattoo... but even minor things like changing your hair style to try and make someone like you counts lol... and not only men... also friends... or people we think are our friends... at least when we are younger some of us are weaker to what people think... so i didnt pierce my belly button... but i did get a second piercing on both my ears... how sad is it that i dont even wear earrings on them now... i guess what im trying to say here is that i Loved ur writting... just i think its a great story and i can relate on some level :) now on the lies... I can totally understand you... I do find myself sometimes telling lies for no reason at all... like not a good one (and im guessing that would be saving someone from pain or sth... although i do think sometimes its better to say the truth even if it hurts...) but just because... maybe i dont like the truth... i dunno... i guess sometimes it makes it easier to confront some situations, though... always... after i have told the lie... i regret it... I guess that is why im trying not to lie much now haha thanks for ur honesty! :) OK… 1st… I think many of us have done sth,not exactly the belly piercing thing or a tattoo… but even minor things like changing your hair style to try and make someone like you counts lol… and not only men… also friends… or people we think are our friends… at least when we are younger some of us are weaker to what people think… so i didnt pierce my belly button… but i did get a second piercing on both my ears… how sad is it that i dont even wear earrings on them now… i guess what im trying to say here is that i Loved ur writting… just i think its a great story and i can relate on some level :)

Who sayes otherwise.. lies :D It may be big or small depending of person agenda and moral values. Personally i find myself telling little lies too its not so much bothering as it is concerning.. Why do we like to smoothen the holes in truths with lies? When does truth become lie? Its like riding a pumpy road with potholes, you smooth the road with little lies like shock absorbers absorb the holes, but You still know they are there.... I find if lie doesnt hurt anyone, cause problems or have no obvious backthought agenda its ok. Yet they always stack up on Youre conscious, so the little we try to lie everyday the better otherwise someway or another truth ends up getting so twisted u get tangled up and have no idea how that happen :D I believe You would make a wonderful writer, You have exceptional fantasy and freedom of mind so im really excited to see what Youre creations may be, Best of Luck, DW We all lie in our daily lives… Who sayes otherwise.. lies :D It may be big or small depending of person agenda and moral values.
