Rain

There is always something romantic about rain. The dark clouds that descend upon us as if to convey a secret message. The cool breeze that caresses the face and escapes further making us feel alive. The show put on by the lighting and thunder that sends a chill down the spine and makes the heart crave for more. When those first drops touch the ground and emanates that marvelous earthy smell, life takes a new meaning. The feeling when those drops engulf you can just not be explained in words. Have you ever traveled on a bike in the rain? Piercing through that water curtain with the water droplets dancing around your face, shivering from the cool breeze, tasting those unkempt drops that escape into your lips, feeling those needle pricks when a hard drop falls and simply enjoying the bond with raw nature. The experience just transports you to an ethereal place. I have done this so many times, but yet the feeling each time is as new as being born. The experience is different every time and the rain feels brand new every single time. Being caught unaware in the middle of the road when the sky opens itself and showers you with nature’s most unique and important gift to mankind, there is only one thing you can do. Forget yourself and become a child who experiences everything as if it is something new. Nature can have this effect on us.
