rain

It rained today. Little drops fell from the sky and it made my heart happy. I woke up to the repetitive droplets sounding off in our courtyard pond. My roommates had left for work and I jumped out of bed and opened the curtains. Sigh. 

There is something so comforting by the soft sound the rain makes when you are inside a building letting you know it's still there. And something enrapturing about the loud rhythm the water creates as it hits pavement. 

I couldn't stop smiling today. The rain enclosed my heart and despite the cold, I was very warm.
