(Here comes the) Rain

Spring is beautiful in many ways. The best is just after a short but intensive rain that appears out of nowhere and is gone before you can blink. Afterwards the world is reborn. The trees and grass have gained new luster and the green leafs hang heavy with drought on them, slowly dripping down to the ground. The grass is revitalized and the straws stand up with newfound energy. The essence of flowers grow strong and fills everyones nostrils with a cascade of pleasing odors and fills the vacuum of smells the rain cleansed away. The dark clouds that brought the rain is then banished by the rays of the sun as they penetrate the compact layers of clouds and then ascend to earth to fill us all with warmth. The raindrops then reflects the light and appears as glimmering diamonds in the trees and the grass and also creating the marvelous rainbow, the gateway between heaven and earth.

And why is this the subject for today? Mostly because I was in the library for most of the day as one of the bigger parties in Karlstad is going on some hundred meters away. Then the rain came poring down without warning. Some people I know will blame my friend due to killing a spider (if you are not familiar with this there is an old saying that killing a spider makes it rain) earlier that day. The rain came twice and stops just before I went home so it would be nice to know what happened to those bent on partying. Of course, I love to be evil sometimes so it would be fun to hear what happened to my friends at the pary, but as I said, I love to be evil...sometimes at least.
