The tears of the sky are one of the most beautiful gifts to us by the systems and forces of nature. Well, technically, rain is just one among the countless natural phenomena, but it finds glorification due to the poemworthy and soothing effects it leaves us with. This generalisation, I believe, must be very relative, for in places like Mawsynram (place with the highest rainfall in the world) people must have grown very accustomed to them.
Nevertheless, the upshots of almost any rain in the world are phenomenal. The smell of earth is inebriating, the colour of air, of sky, is quite changed – turned shades cooler – and both men and trees seem to have grown taller. Every noise sounds rhythmical, every light shines appealingly, every smell is tinged with a special effect pleasing to the nose. When you open your mouth and breathe, the air tastes delicious. You get shivers all over the limbs, and they feel great.
In the only seemingly unpleasant results of rain – poodles, especially the ones mismatched with the environment – children find special pleasure. Children, after all, somehow can find pleasure in everything, with only numbered exceptions.
Therefore rain – particularly the rain at hotter regions – is one of those which can give overflowing emotions to even the grown men. Such is the elegance of mountains, of rivers, of lakes, of a starry sky. Seems as though God made these things with this idea in mind that man would get fatigued occassionally, and would need some rest in the lap of nature. A slightly wet park with a grey sky, the banks of a river or stream, the real sight of rolling hills or snowcapped mountains … all seem to be the laps of nature.
No artificial pleasure, in a long run, with great intensity, can equal the natural ones.
When humans start conquering other planets, and life will start flourishing on them, one of the things we are going to miss for some time initially will be the earthly atmosphere, those waterfalls, those valleys, those rains. Maybe we create similar atmospheres there, or find planets that have one already … or maybe, the pleasures there will be greater than those of earth – who knows! Yet at the end of the day, the bestest of the best gifts are going to be the gifts by nature.
And one of the best phenomena the upshots of a pleasant rain.
