Rain in our part of the world is a rarity with us getting barely 7 days of rain a year. But it was after today's torrential shower stopped that I realized exactly how soothing the sound of rain is. You can be in the dusty, noisy center of your city and yet the sound of the rain against the window, the haze it casts on the world has an almost euphoric effect. For beauty so simple and yet so entrancing, I can only marvel and praise Allah, and hope that someday I'm skilled enough with a paintbrush to be able to render it on paper.
