Bejeweled Window
I fell to slumber during a late-winter rain. The night tap, tap, tapped its winsome serenade and sent me dreaming.
Came the dawn and a bleary eye opened to diamonds on my window panes. They glowed and shimmered with liquid amber and daybreak rainbows. The window a portal to magic and beckoning beauty.
How could I not smile?

The dawn of a newly ambered day leads one to welcome life and light with serenity and smiles.
Here's hoping that continues, Jonas... a new outlook on life, no?
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Jonas, in better spirits? How nature opens our eyes ... and hearts.
It's good to have you smile Jonas.
Nothing like a good sleep and beautiful rain.
Clean.
A new outlook on life? No. Not really.
I've long considered myself a hopelessly optimistic/romantic depressive. I gotta say, it's easier to smile when diamonds refract the morning sun...and there's no one and nothing left to lose.
Yes. Clean.
Not sure how being optimistic and depressed can happen at the same time...
Well, a clean start, perhaps? Get things moving again....
Still no pitter patter of little paws in the house?
gorgeous picture!
oh those rainbows, how could you not smile? that's resonance and sparkles Jonas a thing of beauty
Rain has a way of cleansing the spirit, no? One of the reasons I adore Oregon! Some complain about it but I find droplets refreshing. Rain is what makes all things green again! So glad to know I am not alone in this belief!!
You can still smile? Do you like being depressed? Just asking.
That's lovely. I think sleeping during hte rain is unusually restorative.
Stunning photo. I often find raindrops on windows to be quite soothing. Little jewels of joy.
A fresh day after rain. And the weather is picking up as well. It's gonna be a great year for the roses.
Apparently.
Ponita - No, pitter-pattering little paws...yet. I've got a few things on my plate I must address. I've got a BIG trial in May (a $1B+ toxic tort case). Trial prep will keep me busy in the coming months. After that? Well...methinks it's time for a hajj. I'm thinking I need to hit the road. Climb on my bike and do a bit o' traveling. I'm thinking of a big loop to the west coast and back. From Chicago to Mexico, up the Pacific coast to Canada and back (after a short sojourn in Europe). I'd like to visit a few of you Dear Readers along the way (if you'd have me). I'm thinking it's been too long since I've gotten myself a snootful of road dust. I must make amends.
Thank you, Flutter.
ET!!! I'm delighted you dropped by!
Ah, Tipota, if only I lived near the ocean!
Ms. Cheese, see my comment above.
Your question caught me by surprise, Deb. My depression scares me. At times, I feel as if I'm fighting for my life, literally. Optimism,romance and laughter are my defenses. If I lose those, I'd be truly lost.
Ah, Citizen, sleeping during summer rains with the windows wide open is one of life's true pleasures. (Same goes for sleeping serenaded by ocean sounds).
Yes, Selma, we all need those jewels of joy, no?
Let's all revel in the beauty of roses, Roads (side-stepping the thorns as best we can).
Road trip?? YEAAA !!
Hi dear Jonas,
You are welcome to Seoul, if Asia beckons your weary bones.
I am going to be in the States in July and am thinking of a road trip myself.....do not know how I will cope with the driving on the 'wrong' side of the road.
Ah, blessed morning sights...the wonder of a new dawn is that it has NEVER been lived or experienced before and we makew of it what we will.
Sorry I have been out-the -loop lately, quite busy at school.
Snowqueen.
Yes, Ms. Cheese, I may actually traverse the Pacific northwest this year. Keep a bit of string cheese handy...
Your Highness! I'm always delighted when you stop by! Where in the States will you be vacationing?
That whole business of "driving on the wrong side" is challenging, indeed. I experienced it in Jamaica. I felt stoned while driving. It seemed surreal, in a way.
Sad to say, Asia rarely calls to me. It feels too far outside my cultural understanding. Does that make me a Philistine?
The writing here is more beautiful than the picture itself.
Why, thank you BB! Thanks for stopping by. Don't be a stranger.
"..there's no one and nothing left to lose."
= freedom
Ah, yes, freedom. I do have that.
