When it Rains

Sometimes it rains. But when the rain comes to a stops, the sun glistens like never before. And if there were not rain, well, then our blooms would never grow in ways we thought not possible before.

Life it’s self is hard to describe aside from the many complexing tasks in our hands. There’s the “to do list”, the wants and self dictated tasks, and then of course, all the expectations of others. I’ve never been one to reject a persons desire for setting an accomplishment for me. Rather I should say, to dissatisfy their anticipation of a certain belief; but then again, who is? Life is so much more complicated than being able to please the everyone who surrounds me. There is an edge, a statement to be made, a dedication to envelop, a stigma to live out, real feelings involved, and those days that the rain just pours. 

Have you ever sat through a storm so big and heavy, just watching out the window, seeing your world slowly disappear under a smoggy tide? Some like the rain and it’s particular weight on the world, maybe they like it because they understand a bigger picture. But most when they think of a storm and it’s rain, they tie it to sorrow and unkindly circumstances, to pain and suffering, or a disliked situation. I suppose that if not carful, this drudgery would contaminate a mind as if life was distressing. It became know to me, however, when watching a torrential down pour out my front window a few months back, that its more than just a down pour. Each drop touches a part of the earth and as each plant, soil, and all things created are soaked with a muggy wetness, becoming more and more blurry, when the rain stop, they have grown and flourished into something greater than before. 

I believe that our life, our rainy days, can be the same day if we look at it with the correct perspective. When I have rainy days, it is a very difficult thing and has a way on pulling on my heart strings, but I also have seen some great days. I know that eventually the rain will stop, the water will reseed, and life can be more than it ever had potential to be before- you just have to out endure the storm. Keep a positive prospective even when it rains.
