One Small Moment (Bali)


We raced the rain on that late afternoon, heading back to Ubud from Payangan. Finally, just as we came around the final bend of the Campuan road, the rain became a torrent and forced him to pull the motorbike to the side of the road. We ran for an overhang that sheltered a closed warung and sat on a white, wooden bench, elated and happy. I don't remember what we talked about. We laughed a lot, I know. We laughed and sat close together and thought how lucky we were to be here together in the rain on this day in Bali.
