Let the rain fall

I am thinking about rain today. This is the rain on my porch today.

In a reflection from Ginny Owen's about her song "Rain" she writes,

"...in order to experience a loss or walk with someone through their suffering, we must acknowledge and even accept the rain as part of the process.I don’t think that we’re meant to become completely comfortable with rain; if we did, we’d be too intense and melancholy to do anyone—including ourselves–any good. But experience has taught me that it is good to be familiar with rain—respectful of its reality and mindful of its necessity in our lives."
