I can not think of the words to tell you how much I love rain. Yesterday I was walking to my car in the rain as everyone else ran into the supermarket with their heads down and their arms around themselves. I walked with my face to the sky and my eyes closed. The light was orange, the sky was a warm browny grey. If I didn't have my hands full of shopping and people running around me, I would have thrown up my hands and spun in a circle.
I remember to breathe when I'm in the rain. My shoulders relax too. It's like... it's like ... it's just me and God in the world, or that life is good, or I'm free, or I'm happy and at peace. Everything else slips away, I have nothing else to worry about, because I'm in the moment, I'm standing in the rain. I _like_ standing in the rain.
Although I had to try hard to enjoy it today as icy winds tore at me, my feet crunched hail, and my hands started to go numb. No snow where I live today (spewin') but snow flurries are forecast for tonight.
