It Was Just Rain, But That Evening, It Felt Like Peace

Sometimes in the chaos of life and the noise within our hearts—peace finds us in the most unexpected places—like in the gentle drops of rain.  I still remember that evening when everything seemed scattered, I was worried, and my heart was tired.

I was standing there in the open sky, neither could I walk nor could I say anything.

My heart was feeling like ending my life somehow, and sleep in peace. Then suddenly a drop of rain fell on me and was hugging me, but I was not conscious at all. I let myself get drenched in those drops of rain.

The rain was breathing life into my lifeless heart.

I don’t know how this rain was giving me peace. My heart wanted to keep getting drenched. And an unknown smile came on my face, and I experienced such a happy feeling that I had never felt before.

I don’t know how this was giving me peace in my tangled life. But those drops of rain were soothing my heart.

It didn’t solve my tangled life or make my problems disappear but it brought a strange kind of peace.

It reminded me I am still here—still breathing. There is still life in me. It was the first time in a long time that I felt at peace.  I knew then—I could not give up, not tonight. That feeling… it was peace.
