Rainy Day Ramblings

April 18, 2025

Rain is strangely reassuring. It's not the loud variety with thunder and lightning, but the gentle, insistent variety that taps at your window like it has a story to share.

Today was just that kind of day. I made a cup of coffee (yes, two) and just sat back to watch the world quiet down and get slower a little bit. Funny how we are always in a hurry, yet on rainy days it's as if the world is cautioning us to simply slow down for a minute or two.

"Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby." – Langston Hughes

I don't usually write poetry, but rainy days make me want to say something. Or maybe it's just the coffee. Anyway, I wish for more quiet and rainy days.
