Mountain Rains

September Six Word Photo Story Challenge: “Comfort”

Mountain rains still my busy mind.

My stomach’s been in knots today. I don’t know why. Sometimes that’s just how it is.

My chest feels tight. My keys are cold in my hand, but the air is warm on my face.

I’m relieved as I buckle my seatbelt. It’s not ideal weather for driving up the mountain. But I need this.

The cottonwoods have yellowed, then browned after recent flooding, but the aspens are vibrant green.

Spots of gold adorn their crowns as I travel through increasingly thinner air.

Dark clouds rumble overhead, and rain patters against the windows. I pull over. I let the droplets blur the world around me as I listen.

Take a deep breath. Let go. Be still.
