Drizzling season is around the bend. I couldn’t help but think that it’s going to be a time again that the roads will be drenched, sometimes muggy and grimy too! One thing more, clothes on the laundry will take two or three days to dry up! Despite of these self-confessed grumbles I have about the rain, I honestly love the rain! My admiration for the rainy season bangs all my grumbles! So to sum it all up, rainy season is my favorite of all!
I know I am not the only person who loves the drizzles of waters coming from ‘heaven’. Everyone may have their own reasons why they love the rain but one thing I am really sure of is that, to farmers, the drizzles of rain means a pour out of blessing – for their land to drink on after an arid summer, and for their crops to grow up vigorously and get a fruitful harvest! Personally, I love the rain on a mysterious ground. I realized now that I have no exact personal reason why I love rainy season. It seems to me now that I don’t have a novelty for that. What I know is that, I love the rain for the fact that it helps the farmers have a fruitful reap. So my issue now is to really reflect and look deep within my heart why I love the rain! The very first thing that I could think of why I love the rain is its ability to make hyperactive people pause for a while and find a comfort zone or shelter in order not to get soaked. A good conversation can sprout while we are in an awkward moment waiting for the rain to stop along with a few who do the same thing like us! A lot of meeting can happen while the rain pours in! In some romantic film, we take a glimpse sometimes of two lovers kissing passionately under the rainfall and they don’t care at all whether they will get sick or get soggy! It makes me think that even the film directors have the same thing in mind like me and they agree that a rainfall is not just a simple drop of waters! That there is just something mysterious and dreamy about the rain! I heard lot of people say that it’s pleasant to cuddle up with a loved one when it rains…have a cup of coffee, watch TV or watch the rain from the windowpane until it weakens. Another thing I can think why I love rainy season is sleep! I love taking short naps when it rains and just have a wistful mood. As a child, I remember playing in the rain with my playmates and I guess, those were the best times of my childhood!
On the contrary, there are few people who compare the raindrops to their tears! Its rainy days of my life as some people would say it when they go through a thorny phase of their lives! Well, everybody have their own opinion. I cannot go against that! It’s just a matter of how we scrutinize things in our lives.
As a lesson to this, instead of viewing things in a destructive way, we better learn to see things in a constructive way! Of course, there are times when rains can destruct the mother nature but lets bear in mind that rain was never created to destruct! It was created in the very first place to nurture the earth!
So even if you don’t like the rain be mindful that…
After the rain, there’s sunshine and sometimes God draws out a rainbow to make life more colorful!
