Awakening Is Like Rain

You’re just walking down the street, minding your own business
when it just hits you. And you start running, trying to find cover when
you realize it’s already too late for that. In the middle of the street
you stop, hopelessly letting yourself get soaked by the pouring rain.
You start to breathe deeply and to relax while the rain washes off all
the dust that got stuck to your shoes and clothes. And then it sud-
denly stops. The sun comes out and everything comes back to nor-
mal. You are still the same you, as you have always been. Except that,
now that you’ve truly tasted the rain, you can truly enjoy the sun.
