Usually I hate rain. It’s wet. It’s messy. And it keeps me locked inside.

But nowadays I see heavy rain as the best way to procure silence in a world enamored of noise, any kind of noise: cars, kids screaming, dogs barking, people pounding on their drums, neighbors who talk too loud.

All I hear when the rain comes is the sound of the raindrops pounding into the windows, the roof, and the pavement.

And it soothes me.
