Rain
You wake up and it’s raining. How does that make you feel? Do you grumble about the bad weather? Rain is a gift. All life depends on its nourishment. Rain irrigates our crops, fills our dams, washes our streets and rejuvenates our gardens. That should be reason enough to celebrate. But there is something more. Rain awakens our senses, as we breathe in its petrichor: that unique earthy scent of rain on dry soil, created as plant oils and soil bacteria react with water and release their perfumes. Rain replenishes our body, stimulates our mind and quenches our spirit.
