✦ I'm a little down because I lost my streak of daily posts on Hive, since the power went out again yesterday. I hope the power outages don't get as bad as they were a few years ago, and well, if you suddenly see me absent, you know why ;; ~ Clip | Edit by @Tesmoforia ✦
🇺🇸 ~ Today, there are two reasons why I am not asleep at this hour: First, the power is out (an electrical failure that I hope is only in this area and not throughout the entire city, which would be quite unfortunate, and has already happened), and second, it has started to rain.
I love it when it rains at night, even though it makes the air uncomfortably humid, which is why it's better to keep the windows closed. I stay awake to enjoy the pleasant sound of water hitting the roof and the plants near my window.

🇪🇸 ~ Hoy mis motivos para no estar dormida a esta hora son dos: La primera, se ha ido la luz (una falla eléctrica que espero sea solo en esta zona y no en toda la ciudad, eso seria bastante malo, y ya ha pasado), y la segunda, ha comenzado a llover.Amo cuando llueve de noche, aunque haga que el aire sea húmedo hasta la incomodidad y por eso es mejor mantener las ventanas cerradas. Sigo despierta para disfrutar de ese agradable sonido del agua golpeando el techo y las plantas cerca de mi ventana.
Normally, when the power goes out at odd hours like these, I manage to fall asleep quickly because the environment is “cleansed” of all that strange static noise in the atmosphere, you know, that peculiar, rather annoying sound that not everyone can hear, but some like me can...
...that unpleasant sound made by appliances plugged into their outlets, even when they're turned off (the sound emitted by a turned-off TV is particularly sharp to me), just like the high-voltage poles on street corners.
On nights like this, I don't like to read, write, or consume content, maybe talk to someone special for a while, but nothing else.
Nights like these are rare, and I treasure them. They vaguely remind me why I like traveling to the mountains so much more than to the beach, because the air in the mountains feels like this... silent, pure, clean, and with this feeling of infinity in all directions. It's a good time to meditate.
They say it's healthy to be able to sit still and do nothing, just be with yourself, and feel comfortable in that state. I want to believe that in this aspect of life, I am healthy, because that's exactly what I want to do this morning, at least while it's still raining.

Normalmente cuando se va la luz en horas extrañas como estas, logro quedarme dormida rápidamente porque el ambiente se "limpia" de todo ese ruido extraño de estática en la atmosfera, ya sabes, ese sonido peculiar bastante molesto que no todos pueden oír, pero algunos como yo sí...... ese sonido desagradable que hacen los electrodomésticos enchufados a sus tomacorrientes, aunque estén apagados (el sonido que emite un TV apagado se me hace particularmente agudo), igual que los postes de alta tensión en las esquinas.
En noches como esta no me gusta leer, tampoco escribir, ni consumir contenido, quizá hablar con alguien especial un rato, pero nada mas.
Noches como estas son escasas y las atesoro, me hacen recordar vagamente por qué me gusta tanto viajar a las montañas antes que a la playa, porque el aire en las montañas se siente así... en silencio, puro, limpio, y con esta sensación de infinito en todas direcciones. Es buen momento para meditar.
Dicen que es saludable tener la capacidad de quedarte quieto sin hacer nada, solo contigo mismo, y sentirte a gusto en este estado, quiero creer que en este aspecto de la vida entonces soy saludable, porque eso es exactamente lo que quiero hacer esta madrugada, al menos mientras siga lloviendo.
Esta es mi participación para el "Midnight Letters Prompt #18 de la comunidad Midnight Letters, espero todos pasen buena noche, y dulces sueños 🌙 🌧️ 🪔
