(15, CT, USA) Anonymous - The Rain’s Purpose

Every raindrop makes a difference on the ground. They all wet the floor, fill the oceans, and help the plants grow. The sound of rain hitting the earth is a soothing melody that brings life and nourishment to the world. It's a reminder of the interconnectedness of all living things and the cycle of renewal that comes with each storm. We, as humans, are fragments of what the universe is, was, and will be. We are each other and the water we drink. We all were once up in the clouds before we came here to change the world and make a difference in our own unique way. Rain is a symbol of purity and cleansing, washing away the dirt and grime of the world. It represents a fresh start and the potential for growth and transformation. Just as rain nourishes the earth, we too have the power to bring life and vitality to those around us. I sit on my bus, watching the rain, and as each drop races down the window, I think of them as people; each one is its own person with its own purpose. To those with creative passions, please follow them. You are the storm before the spring, and you are highly needed in a dying society. Please clear the rain in your hearts; you're needed to refresh the world when it’s stuck in a drought and to speak for those who don't know how. Your creativity and passion have the potential to inspire and uplift others in ways you may not even realize. For everyone else, it's never too late to start fresh again. When the storm ends, a rainbow will form just for you.
