Of fire & rain

The weather has been turbulent in recent days and I love it.
The cold sting of the wind, the beat of rain on my face and neck. It thrills me.
Rain is one of my favorite things.
People either hate it or love it. And I can honestly confess that I love it.

Think of the first rain of the season.
The earth seems to beg for it and rejoice when it comes. I feel like everything around me becomes excited when the first drops fall. The rain gives back life.
That's what I love about it.
The day after a good rain is glorious to me as well.
The sky has been washed clean, the soil is rich and colors seem to explode.
The world is vibrant and breathes clear.

There's nothing like a good rain.
