Why do I cherish a rainy day on a loud street corner
here?
I am different on this street corner.
Sitting under this awning,
drinking the greatest hot chocolate I have ever had.
Enjoying the quiet company of the person next to me.
Enjoying my own company.
The only music in my ears is from the life
happening on the street in front of me.
There is rushing.
There is construction.
There is a car parked in the middle of the road.
And yet,
I find myself refreshed.
I am renewed.
Baptized in the pouring rain.
I decided that today's rain does not
descend in angry downpours,
but falls freely and with great joy
from above to nourish the earth below and all that inhabits it.
Giving life to me and everything.
