take a pause and listen.

I could smell it coming then I felt the huge raindrops fall on my head.
Me and my brother ran in the house still barefoot, feet dirty from running through the garden picking tomatoes and stomping on bugs. (I kept telling my brother to stop trying to stomp on bees and put on some shoes, that's probably why he's so flat-footed now lol.)
My granny hugged us and told us to sit down and be quiet as usual when it began to storm. I could still smell the stench of outside on us.
I wasn't afraid of the lightning and thunder. It was actually comforting. We took a pause from a day's worth of playing and exploring and listened to Granny and Chief tell stories until the storm passed. Things were so simple back then.
