Loving rain, loving water, keeping rain barrels to catch the fresh water as it falls from the sky, opening your mouth and lips wide to catch the raindrops as they fall like icy diamonds onto your tongue.
G-D giving you everything you crave, giving you an abundance of this sweet rain to fill your empty cups, to keep your winding rivers flowing as G-D gives you a river for your right hand and the seas for your left hand.
Not living in a house in the dryness of the flatlands, having the security of skyscrapers all around you in a city, so no tornado can form and cause grief to associate the rains with flooding.
Stomping in rain puddles with rain boots up to your knees in rubber for protection. Watching worms surface on the grass in yards and seeing birds feasting like kings and queens upon them as they wiggle their way up from the ground.
Walking pet dogs who do not thirst because they stop at an oasis and lick freshly scattered rains from puddles and off their soggy paws.
Being given rain as a gift and reward from G-D for good deeds done, performing mitzvoth and filling your cups, cups that are golden and silver challices, not having a half empty cup but having cup that is half full, petitioning G-D to fill it up all the way to the top.
"G-D giving you what you crave," as promised to us by King David in The Psalms.
Fresh falling water as pure as clear lake water, having the properties of a mikvah that falls upon you, not dreading its wetness, but welcoming it, as it purifies your body giving you an ability to show loving-kindness to others as your heart and soul become pure in the holy water.
Showing compassion to others whose cups are empty or because they view their cups as half empty and not half full.
Giving someone a smile, a beautiful smile with white teeth, that they can see as beauty and gorgeousness in the darkness of a storm, to share an attitude of the colors of the rainbow you both will see after the storm lifts and the rainbow becomes a sign of your Covenant with The Lord Who brings this beauty into your lives giving you both the joy you seek.
