Such a captivating piece - it pulled me right into the experience. By the last line, I felt invigorated - as though I'd been there with you, writing in the rain.

Wow Josefin, this is extraordinary.

So descriptive, you’ve done it again, let me be in the moment with you sensing all that you sense. So many word strings that are fresh and new. I especially like the phrase “clouds sewn into the waves by rain strings.”

Oh wow, this is amazing.... I always tell myself 'water is life' when it rains, so that I don't feel to bad about it. But now I will remember your beautiful words and I will simply enjoy the rain, each and every drop. Thank you, you are such a wonderful writer 🙏

Your writing makes me feel as though I am there in the rain. Your writing feeds my imagination to come up with images, feelings and my senses can almost live in that rainy moment too. While it could be seen as an escape to delve, momentarily into your rainy world, it is also a rich and nutritious bridge our minds need in today's world. Thank you so much for sharing. While it rains, where I am in Australia, I will go and try and persuade my very fickle and temperamental dye pot to give me the colour I need today. Your writing has given me the relaxation and strength to deal with her!

Mmm… sounds lovely! I agree, we do need some space to stay in the rain or wherever. Happy dyeing!

Beautiful! I feel vicarious relief and also envy as another day dawns hot and dry in my neck of the woods. In "clouds sewn into the waves by rain strings" I see a tapestry.

Thank you! And I love that tapestry!

Gorgeous as ever. What does it make me feel? A sense of freedom - that the water has to move about and me what it wants to or needs to at certain times. How it can interact and impact and love on after leaving it's mark. Beautiful

Thank you! And yes! The moving about of the water.
