The smell of rain awakens my senses and sparks a creative streak. Sitting outside while it's raining with my eyes closed...allowing the aroma to fill my nose. That soft damp wet metal smell is so calming.
The thing with rain is that not just the scent is calming but it's sound is as well. To sit on the patio while it's storming with your eyes closed and just allow nature to fill your body's senses is so invigorating.
No one has yet perfected capturing the scent of rain in a bottle...although many have tried. It's never the real smell...it always ends up smelling like the flowers that pop up afterwards but never the storm.
It's amazing how you can tell just by smell that it's about to rain or has rained. It's scent is so familiar and unique. No other smell affects me the way it does. It makes me forget about all the hardships life creates and makes me smile. A simple smell....it can do all that.
Rain makes me feel less alone. All rain is, is a cloud- falling apart, and pouring its shattered pieces down on top of you. It makes me feel good to know I'm not the only thing that falls apart . It makes me feel better to know other things in nature can shatter.
