What is Your Rain Experience?

We live in a part of the world where the rain is so rare. It usually rains 3 times throughout the year. If you are lucky, it could be 5 to 7 times.

When it rains over here, majority get thrilled and excited. Kids wakes up from their sleep and run outside to enjoy the rain. The adults get busy with prayers and asking.

For a person like me, because I am in love with nature, I experience it deeply and intimately. Simple acts like walking to the building, inhaling the cold breeze air, smelling the aromatic fragrance of the rain drops mixed with the sand and grass, watching the sky covered with grey and black clouds, hearing the scary sounds of thunder, watching the sky suddenly light up because of the lightening and allowing the rain experience to sink deep inside you.

Those small acts encourage you to become one with nature. They also remind you to stop, pause and get still for a moment. It can be such a gorgeous and warm experience when you let go and allow yourself to be present and enjoy the view.
