The day hasn’t ended,
it has only begun.
Hours may have passed
but here still the sun.

Its heat still oppresses,
Its light still so stark,
I hide in the shadows,
Wondering when it’ll turn dark.

But here come the songbirds
And the children to play,
How could I possibly wish
The sun to go away?

So with the trees I gather
Lift my arms as do they
Embracing the sweet summer
of an after noon day

Sometime between 1896 and 1933, Miyazawa Kenji wrote a beautiful poem called Ame ni mo Makezu "What's a Little Rain?" This served as the inspiration for this series as we mused about the many afternoon rain showers we experience in Singapore. 

That we are thinking of Miyazawa's poem nearly 100 years later just proves how powerful the simple fluttering of a butterfly's wings can be.

"What's a little rain, A little wind, a little snow, a little heat in summer if you're strong?"
