I wish it was raining

I wish it was raining today.

It rained a little bit, just barely, while I was on my way to work this morning.  But that was just a tease.

I love the rain.  It's a beautiful and mesmerizing part of nature, and although at times it is fickle and inconsistent, when it comes back around it always delivers.

Rain is the ultimate source of calm.  This may seem like a contradictory statement, considering the raging damage that can be, and has been caused by, rain.  But to me, no matter what time of day or even time of year it is, I know I will always be set at ease to look out the window and see water pouring to the ground from grey clouds.

If it were raining today, I would be listening to Sparks by Coldplay.  It's probably my favorite Coldplay song, and not only does it fit perfectly with the mood of a rainy day, but the lyrics are explicitly honest.

Did I drive you away?

I know what you'll say,
You say, "Oh, sing one we know."
I promise you this: I'll always look out for you
That's what I'll do.
My heart is yours, it's you that I hold onto.
And I know I was wrong, but I won't let you down...
Oh yeah, yes I will.
And I saw sparks...

I saw sparks the first day, and I've seen them every since.  Sometimes the rain puts them out, but I hope they keep coming back.
