(no subject)

I would rather share an electrical storm like the one we have tonight with a loved one than any possible physical intimacy. In twenty years I have never seen anything like this. Distant flashes every second, at longer intervals a big chain rocketing along or the sky being lit so brightly that even at night you can see how dark the clouds are.

I watched with Lizzie. She seemed to understand in that unspeaking way that cats have, accepting whatever emotion you choose to give them in a quiet moment without argument. Until she wanted to get down.

I never get to experience things like this around actual people.
