The rain
The
previous Sunday, I was in a café, on the hill of a large city of Athens, when suddenly there was a heavy
rain, a storm. In a few minutes, the image of all of Athens, spread out like a
carpet under the café, had
disappeared and everything outside the windows had turned white, like fog.
It
was something special and quite interesting, which you don’t often find in the
city because the place where I was, had trees around and low vegetation, as if
I was in the countryside.
I
thought that I don’t like walking in the rain and in general I don’t like bad
weather and winter. I prefer summer, company with the sea.
However,
my mind went to the parts of Pelion in winter, a place I love all seasons of
the year.
The rain also has its share in our beautiful memories!
Everyone
inside the café was looking at
the windows, some people were making phone calls, just like me. I called my
daughter because I was worried. She had also gone out for coffee. Fortunately
everything was all right!
Where
we were sitting, the ceiling was dripping water in some places and we were
careful not to get wet. So we pulled out our chairs, although the café was huge and there was no
particular problem.
When
it stopped raining after a while, I was relieved. Finally calm!
“It’s storm but it will pass”, said my husband.
This
is how it happens in our lives, or it should happen like this. We are patient
with the difficulties and wait for the best days to come!
