Leaky Roof.

The rain always brings a sense of clarity. Everytime it rains, I'm reminded of the leak in our roof. In a very odd way, I love that leaky roof. For John and I, living in an old, crooked, sometimes drafty house only adds to the adventure called marriage.

I love walking in the rain. I feel as if every thing around me is being cleansed. Sometimes the rain makes me feel happy and innocent like a small child.

Other times, the rain makes me feel lonely like a mother whose son is off at war. The rain has a way of keeping everyone inside. I begin to miss people.

But today, I welcome the rain. I embrace it like tears of joy... lifting my face to the heavens, tasting salty rain tears on my cheeks.

-MP

"May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, Like showers that water the earth."
Psalm 72:6
