In Every Life, A Little Rain Must Fall...
The Bay Area is preparing for a series of powerful rain storms beginning tonight, and all I can say is, bring it on, Mother Nature. Let it rain, let it pour... soak everything in your wake.
I think Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam said it best when he sang in "Wash":
Oh please, let it rain
today.
The city is so filthy, like
my mind in ways...
I love the rain: it represents a natural cleansing of the air, the streets... everything. Yes, driving can be a pain, as can walking to work, going to the gym, grabbing a coffee. But there's just this amazing feeling when the heavens open up and wash away all the dirt, the smog, the complacency of life that sets in. Rain resets everything; wipes the slate clean, literally.
Let it rain, let it pour... Let life and the city renew.
