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’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.

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 🤍
