It Rained

It rained this morning... but I am not surprised myself arising a bit on the cloudy side -- by the afternoon my mind a blaze of clear activity -- the sun was high and bright -- to the contrary, the day before I arose quite chipper -- yet it rained all day such a windy, soggy dripper the night even more fierce not a star of light what were you thinking!?

I enjoyed reading this one. I could feel you change in emotion with each event. The sunshine seems to make a day brighter in so many ways and rain seems to pull our spirits down. Thanks for sharing this one. Sara K

The principle is sound, Joe! When you're ablaze, so is the sun. Couldn't agree more! ~ gw

One can expect rain occasionally now in autumn. Perhaps we will be graced by some long Indian summer.

Thank you, Victor. A gentle rain is beautiful. Here in Phoenix, so dry and hot most of the time, a gentle rain is when many of us go for a walk. Blessings my friend.

The comment you posted below has given clarity to your poem. It is true that a soggy weather can dampen our spirits. But if we view things with a cheerful disposition, even the dull weather will turn sunny and pleasant. So our moods influence nature and vice versa. As ever, I appreciate your unique style.

Hi Valsa; thank you so much. I Generally do not try to bring clarity to my writing, assuming that, if a poem is not understood, then the poem has failed. But here, a little extra seemed to help matters. Thank you for pointing this out. Blessings my friend.

Yes dear joe i agree with your comment below, sometimes we don’t realise how thoughts can become things and we can manifest so much through mind and thoughts. Nature also has a way of connecting and speaking to us. I realise , recently i attended a funeral and as i got out from my house to leave. I saw a rainbow. And it drizzled a little as if nature was saying something to me. So this poem truly made me think and so did your comment! Pleasure reading your thoughts so well woven always! Sending you light always

This may seem, on the surface, unrelated to the poem...but it is not. One cannot postulate a unified theory from a Particle Theory. Nor, for the religious, can an omnipotent God be supported by a Particle Theory (separation, compartmental) (even a wave theory would not work, if that theory imagines separation from its medium of manifest activity - so to speak) -- God is everything. Indivisible substance, intelligence who created all reality out of himself, out of his own unlimited body of infinite dimensions. True Dark Matter, is not what science says it is, an invisible balance, that must be there, in order for their physics to jell. True Dark Matter is, pure potential. Indivisible. Start from that assumption if wanting to develop a Unified Theory.

Bear with for moment: Most of us agree that weather affects one's mood...but do you think there is a possibility that one's mood may bring about the weather? I mean, we already agree that there is sometimes an emotional connection, how dreary weather can make one feel dreary -- so why not the reverse? What Often is the cause of wars? One feels grievance, or a need to conquer. Feels feels feels feels.
