A Spiritual Cleansing

I looked out my window today And I noticed that most of the clouds in the sky were grey So I knew that the rain wasn’t to far away And it’s usually on days like today That always seem to get to me So I did something That I have never done before And it was something that I did think about for awhile And I finally decided to do it anyway And when the rain started falling down from the sky I took all my clothes off And I grabbed a bar of soap And some shampoo and a towel And I went outside my back door far away from prying eyes So that no one could see me And I took a shower in the rain And it was such an incredible feeling And one that I have never felt before Because a peaceful easy feeling came over me while I was showering in the rain That was so rejuvenating Because it felt like A spiritual cleansing And when I finally came in from the pouring rain All of my burdens and all of my sorrows that I had felt earlier in the day just seemed to fade away instantaneously

Dean, I used to take showers outside in the rain when I spent weekends on my boat, even though it had a shower. There is nothing like the feel of pure rainwater running down your back. Indeed, it is "so rejuvenating." Thank you for sharing this uplifting write that brought back pleasant memories for me. Love, Carolyn

Great topic approached here. We all can use a cure for the depression that sometimes comes with a rainy day. Keep writing. Sara
