get caught in the rain

one of the simplest pleasures in life is getting caught in the rain.

you're much too far from your destination to bother trying to run, because you're going to get wet either way. you don't even bother taking out your umbrella - in the small chance that you brought one with you - because walking through the puddles is sufficient to soak your pants up to the knees. you need to take off your glasses because so many raindrops are hitting them that it's like driving in a storm without windshield wipers.

but every pore of your body feels cleansed because every inch of you is soaked through with heaven's tears. i can never help but smile and laugh when i walk in the rain. i always feel so good. and it usually ends with stripping off the sodden clothing and getting bundled up. i usually get really drowsy, too, which makes for wonderful naps.

if you get the chance, go get caught in the rain this summer. it's beautiful.
