It has been raining continuously since shortly before midnight last night. I heard the first pitter-patter just as I was going to sleep and woke up this morning with the sound of continuous, heavier rainfall. I missed the rain...the wetness it brings, how it cleanses and washes away what needs to be shed, how it nourishes, how it makes one pay attention. Surely, even as the news highlight the effects of rain in a parched region as southern California, its mixed blessings make it an indispensible natural phenomenon.
