Wow, what an amazing, sensuous, beautiful storm this evening! Turned out all the lights, and just stood at the window for a while, watching. Being. Then Milena and i snuggled together in the papasan with the-still-unnamed kitten. Then the thunder got to be too much for Avery and he came down and joined us. We were listening to
Sacred Spirit Drums as accompaniment to Mother Nature. We even danced a little bit, the three of us (plus the animals!) there in the dark. Then Avery said, "i wish i had some instruments." That's my boy.
So i went in the kitchen and brought back some pots for us to bang on. Avery really got into it. i lost myself in the music, the moment. i wished that i could be outside, letting the rain cleanse me.
( mild bdsm content )Before i knew it, the rhythm had changed; a new song had begun, the storm had ceased, the rain, only moments ago torrential, reduced to a few determined drops drizzling here and there. Milena and i agreed, that this too, was Ritual.
