everything looks different soaked in water.
the trees are a quieter green, the air is a thicker white, the ground undulates more than unusual. and the last part is what gets me. on your average arid day, the sea of concrete is unstrikingly placid, transfiguring between parking lots and interstates. all fades away behind the restlessness of our endless days.
but when it rains, more than precipitation falls from the heavens. this cool peace seems to slow everything down as constrained heat within the sidewalks escape upwards.
life slows down.
we learn to breathe and glance within.
as the puddles begin to accumulate into masses, i realize that this ocean of asphalt isn't so flat anymore as i see a plethora of new ponds everywhere i turn. things aren't what i thought they were. and this is how see myself now, as the proverbial rains of life have filled the cracks within my heart, transforming this seemingly level heart. i can see myself more clearly now, thanks to the rain. assumptions removed, who i am, faults and flaws, comes into view.
thank you, rain.
