Rhapsody to humid heat

[asakiyume]

Waking up this morning was like waking up in the Amazon, and I AM HERE FOR THIS. Out my back window, a northeastern jungle, so many shades of green, dappled sun, morning mist. An aural bouquet of birdsong and small critter sounds. Right now there's a scent of wood smoke.

I love the way the medium of humid air makes you intimate with every other thing. The way everything is right on your skin and in your lungs. The glass of water sweats, you sweat. Time dissolves, sound travels nonlinearly, odors are more vivid. I love the lassitude, the exhaustion.

I am sincerely glad that if this weather makes one person happy that person is you.

I'm laughing with appreciation for your wording! I wish there was a way to share the joy that could actually transmute in others into less suffering! (Not in an "ought" way, but in a magical way--like, the discomfort and danger would actually, truly be physically lessened.)
