1646 – 1700 hours
In front of Matthews Dormitory on Willamette University campus, Salem, OR, USA
53 degrees, overcast
A sparkle catches my eye and I am distracted from my walk to dinner to observe a shimmering rain drop, resting at the tip of a leaf. The drop has come from such a long way, I am in awe that is lays before me so gracefully, during this brief interruption in its journey to the earth’s surface. I look around to see thousands of similar drops on all the surrounding leaves. Without hesitation I shake the bush sending all the drips collectively to the ground, completing their long awaited finish line.
