The Sound of Rain

There is just something about the sound of rain after a nice, warm spring day.  There are very few things that can compare, except for the smell of the air and the sound of the birds rejoicing in said rain!  Oh and the belly laughter of kids who are enjoying life in ways we adults have long forgot about.  The rain comes and washes away the dirt and sorrows of the Earth and brings new life, a renewal to the dry, dusty days before.  It is refreshing and brings hope that better days are ahead.  

History has proven that there are years where we experience an abundance of rain and years where we experience a lack of.  All of which give us hardships in their own way, as well as a test to our faith and patience.  It's a cycle of the Earth.  It's a give and take relationship that Mother Nature and God do to restore balance.   

I have always been most comfortable in nature and I tend to be a highly emotional person more times than I'd like to admit.  There are times that I cry daily, but not because I am sad, but because I am overwhelmed with many emotions and many feelings that they have no choice but to come out in the form of tears and there are times where I have no tears at all.  I feel like that might be how the rain works for Earth too.  Sometimes the Earth cries a freaking monsoon because she is done with how she is being treated, sometimes the Earth provides a nice steady rain to cleanse her soul and provide healing, sometimes the Earth decides not to rain at all because she's busy and just trying to keep the world afloat, and there are times when she cries thunderstorms just for her people.

Life is such a strange, crazy journey and we are all here for such a small part of the Earth's life cycle.  While we are scared, lonely and sad, this too shall pass and there will be sunny days again!  Much love to you all!!
