Jahzeer, your comment made my day yesterday 😭 Please know I feel just as grateful, that you took the time to share your story with our community -- it was an honor to bring it to life and to have it be part of this series!

I love all of these pieces, and on a day when I am not at my best, this is so soothing. Thanks for sharing it.

I’m really enjoying this series, and today’s reminds me of how much I like the sound of rain during the wet season in the Pacific Northwest. Right now it’s dry, dry, dry ... it’s hard to even imagine it ever raining again. So I look forward to that first night I hear the rain hitting the roof outside my bedroom window.

I'm so glad to hear you're enjoying the series, Tom, and that Jahzeer's story brought back good memories of the PNW rainy season :) Thanks so much for reading!

Candace, this is so soothing. Every time I see bluebells with raindrops clinging to them, I’m going to remember your art and this lovely, little story. It made me think of how life is just a million such moments strung together. Thank you!

Priya, you have the loveliest way with words! I love how you put that, about "a million such moments strung together." Back in 2017, I had the chance to speak at a Creative Mornings event in Montevideo, and it was only when they told me their theme that month was "moments," that I realized how important they've become in my own life. Moments are everything, aren't they? And thank you for capturing that thought here so beautifully 🤍
