a lifetime burning

By Sheol

A box of rain, wind and water

"Just a box of rain -
wind and water -
Believe it if you need it,
if you don't just pass it on
Sun and shower -
Wind and rain -
in and out the window
like a moth before a flame
 
It's just a box of rain
I don't know who put it there
Believe it if you need it
or leave it if you dare
But it's just a box of rain
or a ribbon for your hair
Such a long long time to be gone
and a short time to be there"

The Grateful Dead - Box of Rain

Not too sure about the application of the reference to sun and shower in this lyric to today, as its largely just been wind and rain.  I did see the sun briefly for a couple of minutes but was too slow in getting outside to be able blip it ;-)  

While still in hippy mode, the extra is a shot of an apparently transcendental lily - after all, the jewel is in the heart of the lotus. :-)

Instead its been a day spent indoors for Cathy and I.  I cooked a lamb casserole for lunch and made an attempt at a gluten free apple and almond pudding.  Unfortunately our oven seems considerably hotter than the temperature set by the recipe; the pudding was edible but I am going to have to have another go at it.  I have annotated the recipe for next time.

Hope your Sunday has gone well.
