Autumn Showers

Autumn, with its blustery winds And squally showers sees People scurrying away from The weather as multitudes of Windswept leaves blow in every Direction around their feet. They curse or shout at the rain As their umbrella's buckle under A strong wind and hurry along Dodging puddles and other People as they try to reach Somewhere dry. But it's also good to love autumn Weather with the wind hitting Your face with driving rain and Cold temperatures. We seem to Have become soft regarding our Autumn or even our winter weather. Our forefathers didn't have the Luxury of sitting in a car or cafe Waiting for the rain to stop, they Walked, or sat on top of a windswept Horse drawn wagon as rain lashed Down their necks. Then there is the smell of freshly Falling rain as raindrops fall through The atmosphere attracting hundreds Of particles of pollution pulling them To the ground. This fragrance is Called ‘petrichor, ' and is pure delight. Even the sound of rain is calming, Whether you hear it from inside your Home or other building, you could Even meditate to the sound of falling Rain. So, next time it rains, go out And enjoy it, without the umbrella.
