Rainy Day Musings

   I finally succumbed to the temptation of Pandora. I'm not sure what took me so long. But I am currently watching the raindrops fall into puddles and listening to The Civil Wars. There is something about rainy days that causes a combination of general sleepiness, introspection, and an odd mix of melancholy and happiness. I love rainy days. I guess that, despite knowing the scientific explanation, I see rain as somewhat miraculous. It can go from a gentle drizzle to a bruising downpour in seconds. Nature is still a mysterious and wonderful creature. I love how there is so much we do know, but such an incredible amount that we don't know. It is sad when we loose our sense of wonder. I love understanding the how's and why's. But it's hard to not feel wonder when you see tress turn from green to golds, reds, and oranges. Or you look at snow capped mountains. I hope I never loose my ability to be amazed and awestruck.
