The Rain Is Falling
I see people shutting their windows and looking out with questions in their eyes. I see those who are on their way home trying to cover themselves and can only imagine they are thinking: Just let me get home. Let me get home. Home.

the rain is falling.

I see some who actually open their doors and walk out into the rain.

They not only walk into the rain, they raise their hands and arms to the sky and say thank you. Thank you for giving me what others run from. Thank you for allowing me to see how purifying the rain can be. Thank you for making it rain.

the rain is falling.

I see more people opening their doors and walking out into the rain. Confronting it; enjoying it.

Life. Sometimes, the rain will fall. It's all about attitude!

1. Let it RAIN, RAIN, RAIN.....
I love to experience the sensations, the feeling, the LIFE. It may get too heavy, be cold, or have a bit of hail in it - so be it.

I know of many others who have lost their fear of rain lately.

A sunny morning will dawn if enough of us open up to the RAIN.

5. Hear, hear!!
I would LOVE and embrace a good rain
storm, right now.

We here in coastal SoCal haven't seen any since early March, either.
Instead, we have wildfire storms that have been burning for weeks.

Let it Rain!!!

3. Attitude is important
Edited on Sat Sep-23-06 10:18 PM by Jcrowley
But no matter one's attitude this is no substitute for material circumstances. The children's attitude will improve with food, good shoes and the removal of the warships.



It came in a dream you and I were there
You found me while I was frightened
You said
Change should not be difficult
You said change should lead us home
To an emotional time
Songs from the rain
Falling on our faces
And lifting the pain
To see us home

Is there a voice
To soothe the storm
I'm still learning
And you're still there

Forever beautiful

There to lead us home to an emotional time
Songs from the rain
Falling on our faces
And healing the pain
An emotional time
Songs from the rain
Calling on listeners to listen again
