Sometimes I believe summer was meant for walking.
Something about the air, doesn’t even matter if you get a sun shower, in fact standing in the summer rain has a rejuvenating feeling, it’s like nothing else in the world. I welcome it.
Ever notice when you give in to the summer rain you feel as if nothing else matters, at least for that moment.
There are few other times that feeling is present. It’s sort of the theory of Democracy in practice, the great equalizer. Think about it, at that very moment, when nothing else matters, you could be standing in the rain with a billionaire and you are both equal. You are both experiencing exactly the same feeling at the same time, no money or lack there of can change the effect.
It costs absolutely nothing to stand outside in the rain, everyone can do it, and when the weather is warm, it’s really a pleasant thing, unless of course you are on your way to a meeting and you need to look a bit more presentable then a drowned rat.
But even then I don’t mind, it’s not like people don’t know it’s raining, and if they can’t appreciate the wonderfulness of that, then it’s sad for them. It’s just one of the very few free experiences of life that trumps the things that money can buy.
When it rains most people grab an umbrella, and run inside as fast as possible, that’s ok for some…
But I’ll be out in the rain, finding peace.
