Listen to the rain

Recently, the rain has come unexpectedly now and then. Though I have an umbrella, I never take it. One probable reason is that the rain here comes without any evidence. I cannot decide on which day it will rain and bringing the umbrella every day seems too troublesome for me. So, I have been caught in the rain several times. But actually, I like the rain.
I like enjoying the rhythm of the rain. If you are sensitive and attentive enough, you will find on rainy days, the noise of traffic cannot prevail any more, and instead you only feel the sound of nature. Personally, I prefer tranquility to liveliness. Some people dislike rainy days, because the rain leaves them the impression of gloom. The sky is grey, and the ground is obscure. But I just like the exact feeling. This kind of feeling calms me down. At this time, I always stand at the balcony, staring at somewhere. There is nothing disturbing me, so I can be easily lost into thoughts. I was born with the melancholy personality. Maybe I have the potential to become a philosopher.
The rain in my hometown usually comes in a mild and gentle way. In contrast, the rain here comes more fiercely, along with threatening thunder and lightning. Sometimes it is useless though you have an umbrella, because you will get wet anyway. Due to the poor quality of the lightning arrester of our hostel, when it comes to this time, a power cut will definitely occur. My roommate complained to me that he had nothing to do. I told him“you can have a good sleep, or you can recall your sweet memories to the rhythm of the rain. Don’t always bury yourself in work.”If you just keep walking in your life, you may ignore some beauty of life. You need time to taste, to enjoy life. The rain, just provides the precious chance. Have a rest, so you can be more energetic in your next journey. Listen to the rain.

  1. I too enjoy listening to the rain. I think the rhythm is therapeutic. It was quite fun to play in the rain when I was a child. Now, I know better. Lightnings can strike and kill a person in the open

  2. The sound of the nature is really fatastic. One who have the taste to listen to these sounds must have a beautiful mind. In the ancient times of China, some officals got frustrated in the officialdom, and then most of them would choose to be a hermit. I think they just wanted to get away from the numerous and complicated world; they wanted to be a forever friend with the nature, where they could find the true meaning of life. I also like the gifts from the nature, the rain, the cloud, the fresh air and so on.Let us spare some time to stay with the nature everyday, and it will gove you a blessed heart.
