Letter to Julia 20130508

In the name of Allah, most Gracious, most Merciful.

Hi Julia, my Sweetness.  How are you  feeling today, my Princess?  I pray you are feeling healthy and confident.  It's been raining everyday.  I couldn't do much for yard work, so I just sat on my porch and watched the rain.  The first thing I remember doing when I first got back to Malaysia from the USA is watch the rain.  The reproductive ants flew up from the ground in the opposite direction of the rain.  More like singular but many little wisps of cigarette smoke, hey dodged the water drops as they rose up to lose themselves in the grey of the heavy rain.  Hundreds of dragonflies were patrolling above my yard, to pick off an ant as it tried to wing itself away into the sunset grey.  But some ants got away.  Future queens, they are.
