The Rain

It's a rainy day
The sounds of the rain hits your roof, windows, porch, and grounds
It's soothing and it's calming
You sit there staring outside
While you stare you feel emotions running through you like air
The calm relaxes you enough for you to think
Your mind clears
Your worries, doubts, anxieties, fears, and concerns seem to wash away like the dirt from the rain water
As that happens you become aware of a clarity
You start to think about what you should do, over something you decided that turned out badly or just not the way you intended
That decision could be a friend, lover, job, action or thought
No matter what it is, the rain has calmed you enough to make a decision that could change your life
Think about that for a moment...
Something as ordinary as rain falling has got you thinking about life
Something that you see all the time and may never have taken the time to pay attention to has such a powerful influence over you
Is it the rain that has you this way?
Is it the sounds that have made you contemplate?
Or is it just you finally taking the time to listen to yourself for change?
Maybe the rain stopped you from running out in the streets to distract you from thinking
Maybe the rain is a force that makes you slow down long enough to do some self evaluation and inventory
Whatever the case, you are thinking things through now
Don't waste this moment trying to get out of dealing with something that obviously requires your attention
To make it simpler, just accept the rain and the power behind it
Just stay seated and listen to it
Take in the soothing sensation
Go back into your mind and work out what needs to be worked out
Some times it's better just to deal and not try to understand
