If you were the rain
I would pray
"Lord it's too dry" every night
Yes, if you were the rain
And I was outside, no
I wouldn't run
I wouldn't hide
I'd just look up to the sky and I'd say
Can you remember the last time that someone felt like rain to you? If I think about all the times that life has seemed a little too dry, it has been because I have been around people who have not nurtured me or had my best interests at heart. It is ok to be of service to others and to support where it is needed, particularly if you have a gift or talent that you can provide. But of course, if you are called upon so many times to do the same things, that you would think, after showing them so many times, that they should know how to do it for themselves, that you can start to see why the nutrients in your earth have been used to foster others and leaving little for yourself. It is extremely hard to be able to stand on your own and to think about what is good for you for once because maybe you're not built to be what you might think is being selfish, when actually, you're in dire need of self-care.
That's okay, 'cause today
Well I wanna play in the rain
That's alright, I don't mind
A little time with no sunshine
You might feel guilty about having so many things to do, having so much responsibility for handling various things, but if you aren't in a happy state of mind and can feel ok about just being able to breathe - then it is time to reassess your view on your life and how you can self-manage distractions better. You can't be the most productive person in the world if you are a workaholic. I know. I've tried. When you apply yourself so much to something that doesn't reciprocate, but in actual fact, takes away the joy and passion that you have for living your best life, that is actually detrimental to your health. I think the older we get, we forget to play in the rain. We become too fixated with being upwardly mobile and chasing every single opportunity - that we forget to take in our surroundings and enjoy the most minute details about the simple things in life. I have come to appreciate the silence and being around energy that continues to boost me. Are you doing the same?
Well someday you'll fall
Like rain into my arms
And finally leave the sky
You thought was home
Forecast calls for rain
Says you're coming soon, well
You know exactly what I'm gonna do
I'd just look up to the sky and I'd say
Have you got someone who allows you to be rain? I can't really remember the last time I have felt meaningful connections that could transcend time and space. Granted those types of connections are rare and hard to come across, but when they have occurred, it has been because I have been open to them arriving in my life. I think lately I have been in my own bubble, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. I guess I'm just tired of the flow of constant activity that seems to dominate people's lives around me. Being able to recall and call upon those connection memories have been a great relief though, and they have been enough to sustain me while I am going through a metamorphosis. You can make all the plans in the world, but if you don't account the space for spontaneity and really listening to yourself and what your own needs are, then you won't be experiencing what has been meant for you - unintended or not.
Girl go ahead and start rainin'
If you were the rain I'd be sayin'
Girl go ahead and start rainin'
If you were the rain I'd be sayin'
I hope that where and when you choose to rain on someone, it will be because you feel that you can because you want to and it is a natural progression for where you are in your life. Too many people try to compare themselves with other people's journeys and that's not the way to go. Instead focus on your own real passions and desires that make you happy, not what you think other people decide for you. I don't think you can ever truly be able to live in true peace and freedom, especially in your own mind, if you do not have the ability to be at peace with who you are as an individual. I don't think that you can contribute honestly and fruitfully as part of a collective if you are second guessing what you are going to be partaking in or doubting your own validity. The measure of your own self-worth is determined by how much you want to be - you - in your own life. But that's just my opinion, These are the only things that I can tell you because well, that's what I would like someone to be able to tell me if you were the rain. . .
