Rain

I was sitting in my dad's car on the way back from Kara's one night and my dad was talking to my older sister on the phone. It began to pour down rain. My dad needed gas so we stopped at a gas station. As we pulled under the roof of the gas pumps, a feeling of relief and protection washed over me. The sound of the rain stopped and even though I could see it I knew that I was, well, "protected" from it(even though rain can't do much to hurt you unless it's acidic or something). I found it so relaxing and even though it only lasted for a few minutes, as I was sitting listening to The Decemberists "Red Right Ankle" it was some of the most relaxing moments of my life. Maybe it's because rain's so hectic. Almost because people don't want to get certain things wet so they're always rushing under the nearest roof or to get home, or they don't want to be cold, or for the fear of water or drowning, the noise of it, whatever it may be, it just seems like everyone takes it as a pain in the butt which I guess it could be but I think that if you don't freak out about rain and rush to be someplace dry, when you do finally get to that "someplace dry" it the most wonderful feeling. Maybe it was just because I was in a car by myself while my dad was pumping gas, maybe it was the music, maybe it was even the smell of gas but for those brief moments, I could breathe in completely careless breath. I didn't have a worry in the world and I was well I could use a million words to describe it. My point is this, even in the most hectic of situations, you can relax most peacefully. That's probably incorrect in some way someone might try to argue with me or something but I don't care. This is me, trying to put you in this moment so you might understand. You probably still don't. This was just some I was intrigued by. I mean you might not agree but rain is such a wonderful thing. It washes everything away (not literally) away and makes it smell nice. I just like rain, but despite how much I love it, when I'm sheltered from it I feel better than ever. Anyways, I hope you can rest assured tonight, knowing the Teen Titans have your back. I know I will. I love that show :p Season 3 here I come. :D

that's really cool. it relates metaphorically to how God is, or at least it strikes me that way, because sometimes God can bring those peaceful times. but anyway, good blawgage, and the thing about the teen titans cracked me up. I will definitely rest assured tonight.
