The kid and I were out walking the dog after dinner tonight. We were well into our walk when the skies opened up. People ran for cover inside nearby stores and restaurants. We looked at each other, wondered if we should seek shelter, and simultaneously decided to keep walking. The dog clearly thinks we made the wrong decision, but we knew we would be home soon enough to dry towels and warm clothes, so why not enjoy the soaking? And we definitely enjoyed it.
We so often try to fight or flee from what the world throws at us, but every now and then, it's good to have a tangible reminder that it's okay to soak it all in, to know that there will be no catastrophic consequences. Sometimes, dancing in the rain can be soul cleansing.
