726. rain and pain

Papa: The fact that it might rain is no reason not to water the flowers.

Kyra: Is that right?

Papa: Right as rain.

Kyra: Or pain.

Papa: Pain? Why would you say pain?

Kyra: Why would you question what you know to be true?

Papa: Fair enough. Want to help me water the flowers?

Kyra: Only if we water the flowers to water the flowers.

Papa: Is there any other way?

Kyra: Nope.

Papa: Good. Let's do it.

Kyra: Yeah. Let's.

For those new to The Story of Kyra, chapters that feature Papa (her grandfather) are flashbacks, parts of Kyra's memory of the man (Hynerian) that raised her in the absence of her own parents.

I don't quite know what to do with myself, such a rush of pleasure, to have a papa/kyra post and one of this nature. Water only to water. Your simplicity sending me into awe once more.

Well, the Papa/Kyra chapters are perhaps my favorites. Still, whenever I borrow concepts from eastern philosophy, I feel a little guilty. But not enough to take what I need. :-D

As Ms Storm said, it's nice to see Kyra and Papa again.

I find comfort in their relationship. Just has a tone and mood to it that is a nice place to go.
