Rain

Do you ever feel like rain is just not rain? Do you ever feel like it represents more, like do you ever look at it and think hm? To me, it means so much more than just a change in weather and water pouring down.

Rain is very symbolic to me, I view it as a spiritual cleansing. I see it as my old past self has been washed away and I am clean and pure once again. This idea developed in me at a fairly young age, I cannot really say the precise age as my memory can be terrible when it comes to my younger days but around the age of 11-14. I went for a Christian night vigil with my mum and it is one of the best prayer sessions I have ever ever had (I enjoy a good prayer session once in a while). I do not pray regularly, only if I have to if I am honest but I enjoy it when it goes really deep, you know the long prayers that nearly have you in tears? Yeah I really enjoy those ones. I am a spiritual person but not in the way Christianity & the bible states but that is a topic for another day, back to my experience. After the night vigil, I felt so alive, spiritually and physically. We left the location, got outside and a rapid outflow of rain commenced. It was such a heavy rain and it made me feel so clean and pure. From that day on, rain to me is a spiritual cleansing manifestation.

If you know me well then you would know I would rather walk in the rain without an umbrella or a hood because I feel like I would be missing out, well unless it is a really heavy rain then I guess I will be cleansed the next time it rains.
