Rain drops on banana leaves

Imagine this...
You are at the top of an old temple that sits quite high on a small mountain. The temple itself is six stories high and from this vantage point you can see the city of Kunming. In the distance are green rolling mountains partly disguised by the incoming weather which is brought on quickly by the fast blowing wind. With this wind comes the clean smell of rain. People take shelter as the droplets begin to fall.
I have Qin Laoshi to thank for this amazingly tranquil afternoon. She brought a number of us to a Daoist temple today, which if you wish you can expreinece too via pictures I will shortly upload. It was beatuiful and according to Qin Laoshi the perfect place to be during a storm. I think she was right. I wish I could wirite more about the day to share with you friends but I cant seem to put it into words...It was simply a day well spent.
I am sitting in my room now and the storm has taken a more ominous turn as the sun has now set and the lighting strikes very brighty outside my window. Its a good time to relfect on things. I miss you friends
