Rain

I like rain. It’s always a sign that good things are about to happen. Mother Nature is giving her stamp of approval. It’s the sudden downpour in the middle of a drought that I like most of all; something reassuring in a barren world. There is something miraculous about rain. The sound of thunder clapping and the wet wind beating against the window. Throw caution to the wind and take a chance. Something magical is about to happen. Maybe not to me, but for someone else who needs it more than I do. It’s hard to believe that I used to be afraid of it.
