Pray For Rain

"We're too close, can't stop praying now/
Though it seems there's no end to this pain/
Everytime I close my eyes, I pray for rain/
I pray for rain to wash away the pain..." - Jim Jones

My parents came up to see me today and we went out to Uno's for dinner. While we were finishing up, the sky darkened, the wind started blowing and the rain started pouring. Hard as hell. As I sat there eating my scampi I got upset and thought, "Damn, it was such a nice day, and now the wind decided to come and mess all up." right after that, however, i thought back to a conversation i had w/ my mom earlier in the day and realized that it wasn't all bad. My allergies have been completely using and abusing me since the weather got nice, but it should be better now that a lot of the pollen will be washed away. There's a sliver lining in every cloud, even the ones with thunder and lightning in them.

I think everyone can find some good in a rainy day. For some people, the constant pitter-patter provides them with a natural lullaby that eases them right to sleep. It induces others into a very introspective state, allowing them to ponder all the various aspects of their existence, which is not always a pleasant experience. I, however, believe that rain has the ability to cleanse you, in a sense; to thoroughly wash away all the dust gathered from walking the road of life. And who doesn't want to be clean?

As always,
