appreciation

There are so many good reasons to defy common opinions of good sense.  

My run tonight was about rain soaked ground, incapable of holding another drop of rain even though it continued to fall -- and dry creeks, swollen and rushing again as they have not since spring

and heavy clouds, hung just above my head and thick enough and thin enough to melt into the horizon and the limbs overhead, bare, but still able to catch the rain -- diffusing, dispersed water barely cascading down thick trunks, black and shining-slick in the faded light.
