RECIPROCAL PROMPT – RAIN
Rain: It’s Child’s Play Because
Rain Sustains Our Lives
Rain sustains our lives
Dwelling on this today, and having a rainy drawing I started a few years back. I thought I would return to this since @Dr.PreetiSingh has prompted us to write on this subject.
I am sure you will all join me in wishing Dr. Singh well. Thank you for all your hard work publishing our stories.
Rain seems to be a harbinger of grief and misery with its incessant drumming, especially when it is ceaseless. In the UK, recently, it rained for 3 weeks solid, and it is impossible to keep dry when out walking; it is easy to get tired of rain, but Dr. Singh reminds us that rain is something positive; indeed rain sustains us.
Rain nourishes flowers, trees, birds, frogs, fish, and even those pesky mosquitoes that bite us. Rain pools at our feet, and is such fun for children to play in.
Rain creates a mood. Children with their wellies love the rain. It is such fun to dance in the rain.
I drew the sketch at the top of this story this evening. It took me 15 minutes. I based it on two drawings I did a decade ago when I was considering turning my book, Woedy Bear into a picture book.
