a little tale of mary, the idler, the prophet and a girl called rain

if you are reading this you know my love of the music of michael mcdermott. 


today after a very hectic day i left work, went grocery shopping, came home, unpacked groceries, and then quickly changed into my workout gear. i took a 1.5 mile power walk. naturally is was listening to michael's music. the song playing was the idler, the prophet and a girl called rain. as i am swiftly walking, with thoughts swirling around in my head, the last line of the song is sung: "i guess this the story of the idler, the prophet and a girl called rain." right as michael is singing "rain" i look down and carved into the cement is the word rain. rain just happens to be the name of his daughter with the wonderful heather horton. it was a strange and profound moment and gave me chills.


life is funny that way.
