When the rain is gone .....

I remembered a song with the title " I can see clearly now when the rain is gone". It was one of  the hit song of the 70s'. The song tell us a lot of things in life.

When we have a troubled thought or an unresolving problem,  it is like when we are caught in a rain.  It is wet and messy and we are drenched and cannot see clearly ahead. We are on focusing how not to get wet or wait for the rain to stop. We are hopeful and we wish the rain will go away and come back another day, so we can continued to play and enjoy ouself.

However, there are times, when the rain drops keep falling on our head  and this is the trouble times which we  need to endure and live it through. Nevertheless, there are also times,  we can "walk in the rain or dance in the rain " if we get wise or strong enough.  Walking in the rain could be romantic and enchanting.  Some people can still be happy in times of adversity.

During the rain, if we listen intensely and carefully,  we can hear a certain rythmn from the falling rain and it can bring nostalgia and calmness to our mind.  The rythmn of the falling rain. So, listen to the rain and listen to its fall.

Sometimes , the failling rain can ruin our thoughts ,emotions and stir our anger and move us to set fire to the rain when we cannot contain our anger.  Setting fire to the rain is a useless effort but it is a way to still and calm down the anger.

It is normal for the rain to fall when the sky is dark with clouds but some times, it falls on a sunny day. Have you ever seen the rain fall on a sunny day ? That is why the weather is unpredictable and so is life.

When the rain is gone, the sky become clear and  we can see our situation or our life more clearly. When the rain cleared , our troubled thoughts is also gone and eyes can see far and wide.  What a wonderful world ?

Namaste.
