Rain, Rain...

It rained today...

It rained from morning to night...

It was a GREAT day.

It has occurred to me that the rain completely changes my rhythm of life. It seems like somehow, when it rains, I gain control over it. I can't quite explain it but its as if everything just... chills. 
Today was the first big rain in Redding after a summer of smoke and dry heat. It has been a long haul, especially for one who admittedly can't stand the weather here. I caught myself daydreaming all day... about my future. See, for me this is big because I tend to let the future come as it will (I think this probably runs in the family or is at least true of my brother and I). I relaxed today, let stress roll out of my system and am now drinking an organic chai tea in celebration of taking easy. 
I am really looking forward to this fall, and am committed to letting myself be inspired every step of the way. Here's to rain...

Totally and completely agree. Rain is my complete inspiration. When I was really big in my faith, and even to this day I find rain such a major connection with God. It's when I feel that I can best reach him and so satisfying a response... for me there's nothing like standing in the pouring rain with a simple question in mind.. just waiting for the answer that falls all around you.

Good stuff.
