Rain

It’s been raining non-stop recently, so I fear that it will run into well summer.

However, I don’t detest the rain. In fact, I made an entire project about it.

I thought if I look at the rain instead of wishing it away, I might eventually get used to it or even grow to like it. The way I try to get used to my anxiety.

Fortunately for artists, the rain is a beautiful inspiration. We feel less of a hostage of life when we go out making art about the rain.

So, while I’m out here, I shall put some plants out. I’ll patiently watch the flowers push out blooms.

That’s just as good as being happy.
