She felt the kiss of the rain on her head, dripping down her neck, running over her shoulders and racing along her back. She tilted her face back, closed her eyes, let her mind go blank. She felt the rain wash away her tension, her stress, her pain. Her chest shuddered as she breathed, and tears mingled with water droplets on her skin. She felt release, felt light as air and grounded deep in the soil beneath her feet. She laughed, tasting the raindrops on her lips, and felt that change was on its way.
Inspired by pianist Yiruma’s “Kiss the Rain.”
