Blood Rain

I saw this headline today on the BBC and was totally riveted!  For me it embraces the spirit of 'Casino Royale' -  the villain whose blood-red tears betray him at the poker table.  I must read on and discover the story behind this headline!

Apparently, exceptional weather patterns are carrying red desert sand on the wind, the rain then becomes red - leading to the desciption 'blood rain'.  Tonight, the metaphor has touched my soul, tonight my tears flow red -  the colour of love not anger.  The matriachal tie is forever - but there comes a time when a parent will move on to walk in the Heaven's garden.  It is my Mum who ignited my curiosity and love of the garden. Her spirit is strong, her will indomitable - the time of separation, although near, lies in the lap of the Gods.  Tonight, I just pray for a little longer... in the words of James Bond 'Never Say Never'!
