Contest #204: When It Rains

This week I wanted to join the weekly challenge that talks about rain. The question posed by @ifarmgirl made me throw back a bit to 2008.
Me and the 2008 rain...
It was June on the Sunday that my father passed away and was buried. At that time, June had already entered the rainy season, so, after my father's funeral, it rained so hard. I felt that the rain, which brought calmness, brought melancholia to my heart. The father who had just left, and the rain that came. From then on, I felt gloomy every time the rain came.
For example, even when I'm doing well, if there's a sudden rain, my mood immediately changes to gloomy, as if there's an automatic button to control the emotional mode in my heart.
It took me a while to absorb and celebrate the rain. Until one day, I thought, that the rain is indeed soothing, the roar of water falling on the ground, leaves, roof tiles, or seeping through the window panes is like a lesson in sincerity.
Me and the rain today...
Gradually, however, I learnt from the rain about letting go. The serenity that rain brings is what I feel now. I'm not too happy, nor am I sad anymore. I just enjoy the serenity that the rain brings when it comes down to earth.
What do I usually do when it rains? Usually, I stop whatever I'm doing: cooking, or writing. I'll close my laptop and be quiet while it rains outside. There's nothing I do except savour the sound of the rain one by one. I just sit or lie down on my bed. No, not sleeping. I just lay down with my eyes open. I received a feeling of calmness from the rain. You know, it's kind of an energy transfer process between me and the rain. LOL
I'm no longer sad when it rains, nor am I happy. I'm just more calm...
Thank you for reading my writing this week. See you...

Yes, that's right, I can be more mindful little by little. Even the rain brings a lot of lessons for us to reflect on.
