The Rain
#21
RE: The Rain
What you wrote is a beautiful and pure truth ... the purest...
I love the rain, especially the spring rain when everything wakes up to life ...
and when life-giving raindrops stimulate all this even more to life ... then I feel I am alive too!
But when the rain is playing outside ..and I sit in front of the window with a mug of hot coffee or tea, listening all those melody sometimes I feel like in a fairy tale like in a different world ... in a better world ... and I'm not alone anymore...(even if I feel lonely for most of my life...).
"Alone is what I have. Alone protects me." 
“I may be on the side of the angels but don’t think for one second that I am one of them.”
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existence. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery each day."

RE: The Rain
I love rain. It's quite rare around where I am, only drops seriously 2 or 3 times a year in the winter. I like to take walks when it happens Big Grin so no staying inside for me, it rarely drops heavily also, so it's a 15 minutes of refreshing skies if you ask me. OP is refreshing also Smile

Rain in the south can be very different. I remember being in warm, gentle rains in Oklahoma, and it was a delicate and enjoyable experience. Not that the cold rains of the North can't be refreshing, but they're more challenging.

RE: The Rain
Rain can be a powerful metaphor in poetry and song. I think Bob Dylan sometimes uses rain as an allusion to memory, will try to dredge up some examples from my old brain.

Living in the UK, rain can become a bit of a nightmare though. We have had a very wet and long Winter and only now enjoying the first rays of spring.

I do love thunderstorms though; that is the power of the gods and I can see why it evidenced the numinous to our ancestors in many ways.

I also like mist and fog; although they do make driving a bit tricky over here on occasion.

Totally agree. I live in the south and the rain takes you by surprise, and it’s calming even at its strongest, and then poof...the sun is out again. Like it all never happened.


Rain down here isn’t very cooling, though.

Cold rains are the best, you just have to look at the "challenge" from a different angle.
