So, it rained this morning. Didn't expect that...and I couldn't find my umbrella. But I actually didn't mind walking to campus in the rain. It's not like I had a silk tie or anything. Besides, when I walk in the rain, I think about fun rain songs: "Singin' in the Rain," "Singin' in the Rain" with beat-boxing, "Rainy Day" by Coldplay, a fun a cappella song about weather that I completely made up a couple months ago, and a cello/vibraphone duet called "Inspiration by Precipitation." Those are all fun songs, and I think they help to bring out the beauty of rainy weather.
Oh, another one of my favorite rain songs is a church song from my childhood. It goes like this:
"I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain,
And ponder at the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again."
The song has another verse about baptism, describing the symbolism of a person immersed in water and coming out of the water clean, renewed, and refreshed. It's a lovely song.
I am grateful for rainy songs. :)
