I could have taken a taxi
I could have canceled
my appointment
My blue umbrella was more important, with the green rain jacket I bought on the ferry;
a walk in the rain felt just right.
Not completely unlike
a Victoria rain with rain drops
a bit fuller, my umbrella that sheltered me on walks along Dallas Road
shelters me on the prairies
Such rainy days gently remind me of the home and life that I built in Victoria.
“Where we love is home ~ home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.”
