After the rain
the world is a little softer –
edges blur and drip and shimmer.
After the rain
bright, beautiful reflections are illuminated
through droplets like liquid mirrors.
After the rain
the earth smells of growth
and life and freshness and hope.
After the rain
my heart feels renewed
and cleansed and full of new possibilities.
After the rain.
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Beautiful image and words Jodi….
