Rain can be a beautiful thing. It can wash away our sorrows and leave us with something more tangible to deal with. It erases the muck and the mire and leaves us with the essentials. But being caught in the rain when you don't expect it can quickly ruin your day. You spent time getting dressed, picking out an outfit, and doing your hair just to have it erased by the whim of the gods. You go from a perfectly groomed show pony to Lhasa Apso who just had a bath. It's humiliating.

But when you're prepared for rain, or if you just decide to give yourself over to it, it can be a beautifully cleansing experience. Yes, soak me to the bone and take away all my sorrows. Then return me to the dry safety of my cave and let me scroll my memes in peace. This is the joy.
