Caught in the Rain

Annica (when we were first courting and establishing a friendship and I was learning about her nature and abilities and how they would impact the rest of my life) taught me to incorporate her into something I already utilized, but now would ‘branch out’ and include her intimately and directly in the process). Rocking and swinging on a swing has always been a HUGE part of my life and I naturally gravitated to the act, but it was mostly intuitive and I would just do it and not really ponder why much.

There is a small park down by the pool and nearer to where Annica first was before I sang for her, and what she taught me at this time (before the magic kingdom was even in my life) was how to utilize the rhythmic swinging motion along with music and her tuition, as a meditative tool and also a way to bond. When Charlotte formally began teaching me music, she started a metronome and told me that the first metronome was my mother’s heartbeat in the womb, and I replied, as I put my hand over her heart like the day we met, that the second metronome outside the womb, was Charlotte’s heart.
Annica knows this, and explained to me that swinging together and communing that way was a soothing, bonding and meditative pendulum in time and space. One afternoon it was very gloomy and it began to POUR down rain and I started dragging my bare feet in the mud below the swing in order to stop us and she asked me where I was going and I was like “Uhhh… it’s fucking POURING down rain, like better-build-an-ark type shit, it’s time to stop, woman!” And she told me that water would not hurt me and I told her that fucking LIGHTNING would and she told me that there was not nor would be any, so relax…. Liberate yourself! Do you think I would honestly imperil you??? It was the first time I experienced conquering imagined danger with her and learning what she is capable of and what kind of knowledge she had access to and invited me/dared me to disregard convention and also what others may think of my supposed folly, and just to concentrate on the moment and how the rain felt and the sheer exhilaration of it all and reveling in it and allowing our hearts and souls to become entangled in that freedom and joy.

Caught in the Rain by Revis

Is it real?
We're always the same
We're almost undone now
I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground.
Waiting the call of what would you say and can you come over?
I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground.

It was you
Who could get me high with whatever you say
You're tellin' me something real
What we do doesn't matter now
Whatever it takes for you to stay with me

Trading thoughts across from the room
I saw you surrounded
I was caught in rain, wastin' my time on the ground.
Feeling us fall, without an escape
I almost let you down
I was caught in the rain, wastin' my time on the ground.

It was you
Who could get me high with whatever you say
You're tellin' me something real
What we do doesn't matter now
Whatever it takes for you to stay with me

 

You make me feel, you make me feel, MAKE ME FEEL!!
