Dear Reader,
What comes to mind when you open your curtains in the morning, look out your window, and see rain? I wonder if you’re like me and instantly grieve all the lost opportunities like the laundry that won’t be hung out to dry in the fresh summer breeze. The trip to the beach, pools or picnic lunch at the park that is postponed. The increase of traffic (and slippery conditions) on the road as more people seem to opt for taking their cars rather than using public transport.
Tbh, I am weirdly intrigued and invested in the outcome of gloomy starts. Just for context, ever since I was in Primary school I’d open up books at the library and turn to the first page. If the author’s sentences in the first paragraph didn’t hook me into reading onto the rest of the page, I’d put it back on the shelf and move on. It’s the same with movies.
In the opening scene of a movie for example when you hear the pitter patter or splatter of rain, you just know that Shizzle. Is. About. To. Go. Down! 🙀 Dark angry clouds gather like black candy floss filling the screen with dread and despair while rain pelts against the windows much like a person banging and demanding to be let in. The dramatic music that sweeps you along in the dark, oddly resembles a mouse tiptoeing on the strings of a violin before the magnificent crash of a crescendo that plunges you down to the dark fates of the doomed character (or mouse!)🐭

Rain is an essential part of a process, but fulfills its purpose when working interdependently with other factors. Although it can make us uncomfortable enduring its cold and damp features, if inherently trusted and followed through with, it fosters and nurtures our strength and growth. After getting absolutely drenched, my plants welcomed the summer sun and basked in it with open arms.

There’s no other rainy day like losing a loved one, but like their photo’s, their memory lives on long after they are gone. This legacy we celebrate so that we identify and nurture it within ourselves and in the generations of descendant’s left behind.
