i just walked out on the balcony of the second story of my office and watched the rain. it poured down and students hid under trees and overhangs. i watched it and it splashed me but i didn't care.

the clouds that hang above the earth throughout the rainy season occasionally decide to open themselves up and release warm water. they amble about the country for about six months calmly observing the goings and comings of the population. we, for the most part, ignore them and go about our lives in search of happiness.

occasionally, we find it.

today was quite a typical day for the clouds. they were up before me and i was woken up and instantly lulled back to sleep by a driving rain that cleaned my window. it stopped and i went to coffee. at coffee it started again. it rained while i ate my noodles and sipped my drink. it stopped as i drove my bicycle home only to start again as i sat down to work.

it was a blessed day for me. the clouds decided it would be better of them if they left me alone to search for happiness.
