Rain Rain Come Again

Yup, it's raining again... Been so long since I last saw a big downpour, and have the luxury to enojy it. Yes, I'm weird... I stand in front of my braiding window and watch the rain come down. Smell the rain and feel the wind rushing past me. It surely feels very good.

I've grown out of standing in the rain. Besides, my immunity system is not at some hormone-bursting 15 year old level anymore. In other words, I fall ill easily. But it sure is memorable thinking back on times in Dunman High when I stand alone in the rain, feeling the rain on me. Running about the grandstand steps barefooted. To feel the water drops hitting down on you, and the water gushing about your toes is an exciting sensation. The skies darken to a sensuous dark tone and the winds howl. The water curtains close you in within, and for that brief enjoyable moment, you stand alone in this world. Your wondering friends stand at the canteen watching you, thinking of the number to IMH and you smile to yourself. It sure is a wonderful gift from God, this rain business.

I love it, I enjoy it very much. Thank You.
