Filling the Well: Aileen Fisher, XTC, and Takarazuka Ballet

Raindrops

How brave a ladybug must be!
Each drop of rain is big as she.
Can you imagine what you'd do,
If raindrops fell as big as you?
 
– Aileen Fisher
from Out of the Dark and Daylight

    I love the little Raindrops poem. So cute. I have to say, the photo freaked me out a little. My first thought was kind of Stephen King-ish.
