What a wonderful morning I had today, the gray dawn coming through my window, George felt me stirring in the bed and said in a half sleepy voice: ‘it’s raining… sure would be nice to hear the rain’. I focused a little more intently and heard the muffled sounds of rain drops splashing all around and in that magic moment I was reminded that everything is perfect just the way it was.
As I made my way out of bed… I looked over and said: “I’ll go and put the coffee on… open the window, I’ll come back and listen to the rain with you”.
The sound of gentle rain falling in the morning is so beautiful, calming and cleansing. If you really focus to the song of all those raindrops you can hear such a gentle orchestra, and in that moment there is nothing in the world but you and the raindrops together as one in pure existence of being.
The next best thing to gentle rain is… the memory of gentle rain, you can always come back to that beautiful, pure perfect place of peace.
