Fair Weather - Rain

I've always loved the rain...
      The rhythmic, hypnotic patter of the droplets hitting against a roof,       
      or the pavement...
     
I love getting stuck in the rain...
Feeling rain hit my hair, my skin...
      It's an amazing sensation.
      It's amusing when kids cover their hair, whining about how the rain
      will mess it up, yet they leave their backpacks wide open, exposing 
      their notes and school supplies to potential water damage.
      Hair doesn't dissolve when exposed to water.
      If it did, nobody would ever shower again--unless of course, you have
      no hair to lose.
      However, ink fades...blotches.
      Our priorities are all wrong.
     
      I love watching the rain.
     
Rain--under normal circumstances--is life-giving.
      A land crippled by drought rejoices when rain finally falls.
      Many cultures perform rain dances, hoping that their prayers will
      convince their gods to bless them with rain.
     
      Most people find rain mopey or depressing.
      I'm not like most people.
      I find rain invigorating, inspiring.
      I wish I were like the rain...
