Raindrops make me think of flowers, which brings to mind this passage from the Sufi poet Rumi:

"Lord, the air smells good today,
straight from the mysteries
within the inner courts of God.
A grace like new clothes thrown
across the garden, free medicine for everybody.
The trees in their prayer, the birds in praise,
the first blue violets kneeling.
Whatever came from Being is caught up in being, drunkenly
forgetting the way back."

Thanks, I guess I like the line that says "forgetting the way back"
that is what the rain drop does.

Geez...I got so caught up in the middle I hardly noticed the last line. Thanks. It's a good thing to remember to do--forget the way back.
