Like The Rain

I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven's rivers come to light I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pain
And when I hear it I just can't believe I never liked the rain

  Life can be really confusing sometimes...  We often use the analogy of rain when talking about trials or storms of life.  But what's interesting to me is how rain can also be very sensual and even erotic.  Like listening to the rain on a tin roof, or a kiss in the rain.  Rain is water, and water is an essential building block of life.  Our bodies are made of over 90% of water and we would die without it.     

We battle trials, tribulation, and other storms of life that we just cant make sense of.  But are these storms to drown, or wash us clean?  Is the rain good or bad?  Or is it both?  Can something that is so wrong also be so right?    

Job 37:1 The storm makes my heart beat wildly    

Whether we are talking about 'water' rain, or 'storms of life' rain, we cannot grow without it. Life can be confusing.  Guess we need to learn to both stand the rain, and enjoy the rain....  

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you I'm falling for you now
Just like the rain

Standing the rain, withstanding the rain, cursing the rain, and even kissing in the rain is.....  on this cowboy's mind.
