The sidewalk is no longer spotless, a single drop darkens a spot in my path. I look up and blink as a clear droplet hits my cheek. I continue down the street listening to my little feet patter against the ground. Suddenly it's everywhere. Droplets of rain all around me, the pale concrete now gray with water. I try to cover my head at first. Epic fail. My once silky hair is now sticking to my face. My floral summer dress is soaked. I take a deep breath, open my arms and let the rain hit my face. Just a simple pleasure, that quiet sound of peace.
