| Raindrops on Flowers by Clara Sala |
While the social networks are abuzz with rants about how hot it has been these days in this part of the world, the heavens sent forth showers -- strong & abrupt. Albeit short-lived --- yes, in a flash --- it was very much welcome. Status posts switched from never-ending heated exhalations about the sweltering heat to sighs of relief. Even the earth exhaled. I could smell it.
The first drops of rain on the month of May are said to carry with it healing properties and good luck. I remember some old folk back in the day when they would run out to catch this water from the heavens with their receptacles and keep it for the days when they needed to count on its curative, and blessed qualities.
If i had my way, i would have gone out and pranced buck naked in the rain just like i used to when i was a child. That's how happy the rain made me feel.
