A Year of Rain

Its been raining like this for days. It feels like its been raining like this forever. Its the kind of rain that soaks you to the bone in an instant. Its the kind of rain that makes you forget there ever was a sun. Alone in this storm you wonder what can be done. Thoughts of the future swirl around inside your head. Knowledge that the rain will stop, and that the seasons will change. But then again, the seasons always change, and they will continue to change and eventually a new rainy season will come. And what will you do then? And what will you do now?

Dance in this rain. Dance in the knowledge that this is only a season. And when the sky clears one day, and you realize the sun never left, you will see the aftermath of all that rain. You will see the new life, and the beauty, and the transformation that was happening even as the rain poured down.
