the rain

Both my games today were cancelled due to rain.

It seems like ages since it's rained here and I remember now how serene a nice rainstorm can be.

There's nothing violent or malevolent about it, just a simple pitter patter of water against the windows and against the dried out grass outside. No matter how hard the pitters or patters become I never worry. Maybe it's because I only associate rain with life. You know, rain comes and then plants and crops grow.

I guess rain can bring about death as well through flooding.

Rain is peculiar in that sense. It can bring about life or cause death. All the elements are like that in a sense. the sun helps grow, but can kill a person through excessive heat.

It just goes to show you how the elements control us. Just when we think our technology is taking over we are forced to realize that it was the elements that created this earth, and it'll be the elements who bring it down.

Technology might delay or speed up this process, depending on which school of thought you align yourself with, but in the end it's the elements that will decide when this world will expire.

The rain might delay a baseball game, bring life to a flower, flood an ancient civilization, or maybe it will inspire you. I'm feeling pretty inspired right now.
