Weather -inspired, learning from nature!!!
Rain symbolizes satiation and growth. The essence of this season is the ‘fullness’ of water bodies and vegetation as it blooms effortlessly.
We momentarily forget about the lack in our lives because the surroundings are not struggling, parched, and dull. Our life situation is the same, but the weather brings along a sense of abundance.
The constant sound of the falling rain soothes the nervous system, and the drizzle subtly heals the mind, telling us that all is good. When we see through the rain, the world appears faded, allowing us to go within.
The cancellations and early call-offs are a signal to pause, stay homebound, and appreciate nature as it is. The happiest are the kids because they are fascinated with the thought of getting wet in the rain showers; their enthusiasm is contagious, leaving adults desiring the same.
The heavy grey clouds moving in the sky are overflowing, yet scatter rain with random showers here and there because nature does not attempt to determine the worth of individuals.
The neighbourhood is bathed clean and refreshed because what we need is not a complete upgrade, but rather a balance between what was and what will be.
The sun is out there just as always, but chooses to step back and behind, letting the season take over, clearly telling us that life is never whole but lived in phases.
The worms seen in the rain have been there all along, but they crawl out because they know it’s their time of year. While we might feel big and strong in front of them, the very rains responsible for getting them out of their wormholes make us feel powerless in the face of floods that sweep an entire existence away.
Many hate the season, but it comes in full flare anyway because humans are a small subsect of the larger Universe and cannot decide for all the other elements.
Poets, creators, and writers like me experience enlightenment when they feel the moisture-laden breeze, carrying an exciting possibility of newness.
Rain is nature’s way of preaching harmony and balance.
