I love the rain. There is just something soothing about the sound as it falls outside. I have been one of those crazy people that go out in the rain just to soak it up. I don't mind when it rains and I am on a hike. I don't mind (or at least I can laugh about it) if it rains while I am camping. I don't get bothered by the drops as I go from place to car or car to place. I have never been one to rush to an overhang or other type of shelter. I stroll through the wet beaded curtains. Rain is glorious. It is calming. It is steady even if the pace shifts. It washes away dirt. It cools heated sidewalks. It nourishes dry fields. I am so thankful for rain. Thank you God for rain. There is a song by Shedaisy that just adequately describes the effects that rain can have:
Don't you wish that you could live outside the insane
Don't you ever wish, for a free reign
Cuz it can fall as hard as it wants to
gingerly drip down a lover's face
cry for hours and weeks on end and never
feel a bit, out of place
It can feed a field, put out a fire, and never feel the pain
I wish I were the rain...
Thank you God for rain. :)
