it rains. it rained all day yesterday. it is said that nature needs rain, that plants and trees were waiting for the water, thirsty and needy. 

water is life. fine. i want sunshine - now.

the grey clouds cover the sky and all spring colors look muted. it rains. I'm near the ocean. i can't hear it. everything has a sound. the rain does, certainly. the ocean does. and apparently so do rocks. the sound of the universe. imagine hearing all sounds of all objects. it must be deafening. or maybe not. maybe it is a revelation. 

it rains and the falling water drops are absorbed by the earth, are repelled by the car roofs and by the paved streets. i can hear the wind in the crowns of the trees. i cannot hear the ocean yet. i hear the rattling sound of machines, the clicking sound of key boards. i can hear my own breath. rain is sound, too. it's a beautiful sound. i wonder how the shafts of sunlight sound.
