last nights thunder storms were so scary. thunder and lightning were striking at exact the same time right above our house. at least it felt that way. the lightning was so bright that it hurt the eyes. no wind. no other sound.. after a few minutes the thunder rolled away and the rain started. within seconds it turned into a torrential rain fall and almost as fast as it came it went away. silence and darkness returned. but just for a little while and then the entire spectacle started all over again. rolling thunders, lightning and finally heavy rainfalls. even though i know i'm save in my home i felt so scared. the power of nature is overwhelming. it displays its beauty almost every day, and all over a sudden it can turn into a violent power. maybe its just my senses that judge one side of the token to be more pleasant then the other one. what ever it is though, i know for a fact that last nights storm kept me awake and made me feel so very little and helpless. 

The only thing that could function as a reminder  of last night storm system is the wet grass, sparkling in the sunshine.
