It's been a long, full day with classes and work, but also with unexpected visits from friends.
I got to make dinner for two of those friends, both of them coming over separately just to "be". How glad I am that I can finally cook for others again! They didn't know each other yet before tonight, but as we sat around our little table in the apartment, it was as if we had planned it all along. Roasted vegetables, steamy brown rice, warmed chickpeas, a drizzle of lemon and a handful of kale - a comforting gathering for the three of us.
The rain that accompanied this day was fitting. I love rain anywhere - in Czech, in Croatia, in the city. A good thunderstorm will make the sky darker, but my day somewhat brighter.
Every week this semester, I'll go along for an hour drive up and an hour drive back to my PCM (Practical Christian Ministry) on Thursdays. More on that another day, but this view of the "L", the cars, and the Chicago streets will give you a glimpse into the unique beauty of rain in this place.
