The simple RAIN :)

So...have you experienced rain ?

Yeah...i hear you laughing...especially those of us living in tropical weather all our lives...its impossible not to have experienced rain....but then again i am still wandering....have you really experienced the rain...? Yes maybe you have....while sitting in your room...looking out at the window...while the rain falls roughly on the awnings and roofs...so loud that you cant even hear your own voice ....or while in the car....you see the rain drops all around you....falling on the steel and mirrors ....or maybe you are actually walking in the rain with an umbrella and hear the rain fall on the umbrella and dripping down all around...while you are walking on roads...with the rain water flowing through your sandals...yes you just might have experienced any of these....or you might even have got excited and decide to play in the rain at home ...in the garden...where the rain falls directly on you ...

Yes...i too have experienced all that i had mentioned above....and thats what i thought rain is about...till 2 weeks back..when the SIMPLE RAIN....sounded and felt completely different from anytime before....it wasnt falling clumsily and loudly on the roofs....but on the contrary it was gracefully finding its fav leaves...and gliding smoothly through the branches...and flowing silently through the emerged roots of trees...creating a series of cascade falls on the muddy natural stairways of the hill...the sound of the HEAVY downpour was indeed whispering through the jungle ....so softly...so soothing....yes where else can this be....in the woods of course....on that day my hubby and i took a walk at Bukit Gasing , a little secondary jungle ...and as we were halfway through the 45 mins hike and walk....it started raining so heavily....that within minutes there was a stream formed on the pathways...and we were drenched...but people continued walking and completing their rounds...without complaints...no one held an umbrella....so we walked too...we didnt rush or run out...we didnt have the heart to do that....so we took a slow walk...touching every tree on our way....enjoying every drop of the rain....feeling cleansed from within....what a feeling it was...though it was the simple rain ...it was all too different in there...trust me...you would love it....

So that was the Real Rain......thats how it was suppose to be......soft ...gentle...and soothing...i had a great time....and wish i would experience it again soon...too bad i din have my camera to snap a picture...so used some pictures from the web to share the experience....hope you had a chilling walk with me :)
