In The Pillow Book of Sei Shōnagon she gives various lists of things, which are often long and detailsed. So as part of thinking up subjects for “Ten Things” I’ve taken Sei Shōnagon’s subjects and reused them — so some will appear here from time to time. This is the first.
Ten Things that Fall from the Sky
- Rain
- Meteors
- Aeroplanes
- Sunshine
- Morsels of roast pork (at least in the world view of our cat)
- Surprises
- Frogs (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_of_animals)
- Autumn leaves
- Snow
- Bird shit
