Big Thunder

I am going to try to make this quick. We are midst thunder storm at the moment, and my satellite Internet connection sometimes goes wonky when there is lightning and thunder about.

I love storms. I love their elemental feeling, and how they make you feel the grand wonder of things we just barely understand. Storms are life on the big scale. Wild, elemental, primitive. Storms make me feel tied to earth, tied to all the millenia past, back to our most basic human roots. Storms are mystery and awe and fear and wonder.

Sure as I sit there now, watching the storm, I know someone, somewhere back in the mists of time, sat and watched and felt exactly the same thing.
