rain

sometimes there is nothing better in the world than watching the rain fall

it's a combination of the world crying the tears you cannot, showing you the necessity of a shower, or the beauty when the world is clean - not everything in life has to be miserable

it might be dark, cold, wet, miserable, but the sound is soothing and it's cleansing, cooling, beautiful

one of the very few things i enjoy about the city is the rain at night. watching the silver streaks fall past ever awake street lights makes it worthwhile and allows the realization that the world is still beautiful and nature is still completely present even though I am present in an artificial world full of technology, mechanization, structures, and asphalt. It's the last glimmer of a boring and otherwise depressing night that God is still out there.
