Rain.
February 11, 2007The rains have come, and with a vengeance too. This after a bone-dry start to winter.
Today is our fourth day of rain.
I don't love rainy days. The rain makes me sad and lazy. It makes me want to stay indoors. The sound of rain does not bring me comfort. Waking up in the middle of the night for my usual trip to the bathroom, I always get a jolt thinking there was a faucet somewhere I might have forgotten to close only to realize that it was just the sound of rain. Rain that has kept me company through the night, unrelenting… unforgiving.
Amazing how I forget that in my childhood, I used to dance in the rain. I used to welcome it and revel in it. How I made paper boats and watch them sail on the muddy waters. How I laughed with my siblings, running through the streets, our faces to the heavens. How I never cared about the dirt that has gotten caught in my rubber slippers. How it was always sad to have to get back inside, take a shower and dry myself off, watching the rain now from the window.
These days I drown out the sound of rain with the TV volume full blast on. I try to ignore it by closing the blinds and pretending that it was sunny outside.
For the life of me, I can't remember when I started hating the rain.
