Rain

Today I listened to the rain, its soft fall and trickle down patter on a metal roof, its melodic tap tap on a large leaf and the gurgle of its spill deep in a downpipe. My world was distilled to drops of rainwater clinging like silver beads to the length of a clothesline, glistening furiously in a brief burst of sunlight. I gave the moment no rank or a place in the hierarchy of meaningful things, hardly worth a mention, but simply offered the world some room and was moved to feel the rain wet my face and taste it's tears. It shared much with me today…..and this is a thank you.
