We are woken this morning by a rumble of thunder.
You sit up in our bed and say ‘I’m not scared of thunderstorms anymore’.
Later, there is a break in the rain and we walk through the farmers field behind our house.
The sky is big and beautiful.
It stops me in my tracks and reminds me of my smallness.
It is a good thing to remember sometimes.
