The Symphony of Rain


I like to listen to the gentle rain.
As it descends, accompanied by its soothing sound,
its delicate droplets separate and crack upon the Autumn leaves.

If you really listen to it, you can soon isolate the individual sound of each one.
They all seem the same, and then you concentrate and you realise...
each one warrants an almost imperceptibly different sound.
If you listen carefully, you may begin to entertain the idea that
the rain is a musical symphony, and that each droplet, is an instrument in the orchestra.

And then you may start to inquire of yourself, the question;
"if the rain is a symphony, than who is the conductor of such an orchestra?"
And then;
"what other symphonies in nature does he also conduct so dexterously?"
Perhaps all we need to do, is be the audience, and listen...
