When we lived in Japan, we got these things called "typhoons". Wind rattling the windows and shaking the walls of our tiny wooden bungalow in the Tokyo suburbs. We had to sleep in the hall...

I was stunned. You just don't think of Brooklyn and tornadoes in the same thought, ever. Joanne, I saw that on the news. I was stunned.

I just prefer them at a distance.</i> in the shadow of the trees in the late afternoon, deafened by the roar from the nearby highway, wishing I were home and to be there soon ... Then the rain came down! and the thunder drowned the rumble of the trucks just beyond the woods! The lightning flashed so I could see the branches snap from another tree! No place to hide, so I just walked in the blinding storm to my own back porch. The next time someone prays to be one with nature, take him out in the rain and see what he says I love thunderstorms.

in the shadow of the trees in the late afternoon,
deafened by the roar from the nearby highway,
wishing I were home and to be there soon …

Then the rain came down!
and the thunder drowned
the rumble of the trucks
just beyond the woods!

The lightning flashed
so I could see
the branches snap
from another tree!

No place to hide,
so I just walked
in the blinding storm
to my own back porch.

The next time someone prays
to be one with nature,
take him out in the rain
and see what he says
