It is raining again in my Relto

I was almost surprised by it when I linked back after seeing the library. Rain. The way the place mirrors my thoughts, things I have not yet told others, it still freaks me out a little.

This storm is not the normally gentle rain I have become accustomed to here in Relto, but rumbles and rolls, the water driving into my face as I sit here on the bench thinking.

I cannot tell why, but the butterflies are gathered into three different groups. I don't know what I find stranger: the butterflies flitting about in groups or the fact that they seem oblivious to this rain.

They make me think about the community inside the cavern.

Of course the groups there are doing more than just flitting around the cavern.

I linked into the library early today, before linking home and heading to work. I was surprised to find a group already gathered in courtyard area, talking. After listening to a little of what they had to say, I made my way back towards Ferry. The library had not yet been opened.

I was surprised again to find a group gathered in the Hall of Kings, again talking, and it seems they were talking about the same thing as the group near the library. Only each group was talking as if they were on somewhat different sides of whatever conversation.

Making my way down the stairs, there was a third group, this one talking about the other two, only they sounded like bored commentators watching a game.

I am thinking a little bit about how this time will read when the story of the Restoration finally becomes something we teach children in schools on the surface. How will right now seem in the narrative of this history? This feels like the calm before the storm, or is this the storm itself?

And here I sit, in my own personal storm, thinking about it, and watching butterflies flutter about in their groups, never seeming to tire from the activity, or the storm.

Will today be recorded as only the day the library was open, or is today the day that the first lines are drawn? And what side of the triangle am I on?
