Finally the rain

And finally the rain. The sweet earthy fragrance exploding in the air, the steady pulse of pouring rain after a long hot few weeks. The first real downpour of the summer. 

You need this. You need to soften all your edges in the rain, let it wash over you, and cleanse you. Face up, eyes closed. Feel everything. The goosebump static on your skin, as the cool rain kisses it. The shudder down your spine that follows; and suddenly your mind is quiet and you feel your body come to life in the tingling beneath every drop.

Savoring this moment. And the afterglow of the drizzle. Hyper aware of how soaked you are and how the air clings to your wet skin. Spinning like a child with outstretched arms. Hair soaked, flat and dripping, mascara running and a soft smile glossing your lips. 

I needed this.
