Rainy Leon

This is in memory of legendary Leon Chaitow — — a piece of my 'Sasha & Leon Christmas walkabout'.
..............................

There are always people who feel rain

And others who only easily become wet, whether they feel or not.

But there are extremely few people whom you have to be all eye to see, who not only feel the rain, nor become easily wet.

They have a full-black jacket with an yellow umbrella in hand and are aware of how to get wet gently and drop-by-drop to make their footprint singled out in every rainy Christmas walkabout, whether they are really there or not.

They should be the most slowest rain-stricken people in history, whose path, guaranteed by the last drop, smells like an unending rain for all the flowers to grow
And all the lovers to walk.

They are themselves, one of the kind,
Still follow the same path, whether we walk on or not
Still a guest cloud is the proof of their presence,
whether we feel or not,
And
whether we get wet early or late
or not.
