Comfort From the Rain

The spring rain brings a chill
that calls for a pot 
of homemade soup.
I chop fresh veggies,
anything I can find,
carrots, onion, cabbage,
broccoli, potato, cauliflower,
tomatoes, add some salsa,
herbs de Provence, garlic,
broth, and more broth,
salt and pepper,
and allow to simmer.

Nothing like when trekking
the Pacific Crest Trail
during an unexpected storm,
hunkering down inside
a one-person tent,
opening a packet of freeze-dried
veggies, adding some water, 
and heating over a Solo stove
to create a cup of hot nourishment.

And yet .  .  .  .
the satisfaction
and gratitude will be the same.
