Heals The Original Dryness

it was raining in palo alto as well. i call neil, because it's neil weather. he was highly under appriciative of the santa cruz wonderfulness that is the wondefulness of santa cruz. yes, meanwhile in santa cruz... THE EXACT SAME THING WAS HAPPENING with many more perks and benefits of intellectual and visual stimulation (i went to a seminar thing on gender roles in sex and how they contribute to incidents of rape because of assuptions about women and sex. i am DAMN healthy, it made me feel really good about myself :D and about 3/4 through it, the naked people parading and frolicking in honor of first rain came and passed the dining hall building. and like there was this FLOOD of people going out to watch. she stopped the movie and said "go ahead and go watch. but promise you'll come back!" and we did. it was exciting. i am so doing that next year! my friend patrick said he very much saw me as one who'd be participating in that. i really would be! i was so jumping and bouncing this evening. it was so amazing)

i liked the sky this evening. it was really really exciting and wonderful. i went down to the feild to chase people playing frisby, and the air was so fucking clear, and sky so complex, there was a sunset on one side with such disitinct clouds it didn't seem like you were looking at something far away. and the rain clouds forming on the other side were so amazing to look at, just with their shape and the design that the lines their edges formed made. and the veiw of the bay! which is just so wonderful on it's own when the sky is clear, but with so much happening! you could see the rain! you looked out and you saw the area in the bay that had a cloud burst! it was so amazing! i just stood there grinning and taking it all in! i wanted a camera so i could capture the incredible art and beauty that was the sky. it wasn't just a sunset. it was AMAZING! i have never had an experience with nature quite like that...
