And as I walked through the inter-webs I found a blog that was really quite interesting...a title called "Irresistible Tendencies"...and in it the the author described 3 things to appreciate the rain...
The first was to jump in rain-puddles...to stomp, press, skip, dash...I never was a big stomper...I do remember as a cadet in the heat of NC being sprayed with a firehose during the heat of high summer...we were in our fatigue bottoms and tee-shirts...they sprayed the hose straight up so it was like a torrential rain. I remember the female cadets singing...well singing "Singing in the Rain". I came from an all-male college and was now in a pack of fellow cadets in wet-tee shirts. I remember that moment...and it made me very appreciative of the "rain".
The second item was to Kiss the Rain...really focusing on Billie Myers' song "Kiss the Rain"...she's actually got some pretty good lyrics...although I actually like the music a tad better...
The third item was to kiss IN the rain...
And the author writes about how it is very cold, and very wet and most people don't look good soaking wet...it's a very good point...
But I don't think any of that would apply...I like to think that in a downpour, in a gray and pre-Spring rain, that I wouldn't really notice the outside air...
That the mere heat inside would be shared, perhaps in a lock, perhaps in a taste but most definitely in a kiss.
And as I glimpse out the window, I see it's starting...let's see what today brings.
