“The richness of the rain made me feel safe and protected; I have always considered the rain to be healing—a blanket—the comfort of a friend. Without at least some rain in any given day, or at least a cloud or two on the horizon, I feel overwhelmed by the information of sunlight and yearn for the vital, muffling gift of falling water.”
― Douglas Coupland, Life After God
******************
My alarm was set for 7:30 so I could be out the door by 8 for my morning walk, When I heard the pelting rain around 6am, I turned off the alarm, said, “Thank you God! We need the rain, and I’m going to roll over and sleep in.” Both rain and sleep have been in short supply lately. It was a good morning.
We got out for a cloudy walk at 10:30, but then the sun came out in all its steamy glory by noon. “Rainy days and Mondays” don’t always get me down. Happy Monday!
