The Smell Of Rain – September 19, 2007
Coming out of the office
building, I smell my favorite fragrance in the world – the smell of
rain. A coworker asked 'smell?', I replied with a noncommittal shrug
and simply said 'yes, smell'.
That scent, fragrance,
odor or aroma...whatever that you smell as the earth's thirst is
slaked by the rain. Its weird I know. But that particular scent
reminds me that everything gets cleaned, washed up and washed away.
Anything dirty gets cleaned up in some way or another. Just the same
as I like the smell of a newly-bathed baby – pure and innocent. The
smell of rain cleans the dirty, grimy steel structures that this
Earth is pock-marked with. The urbanity and modernity of the city
goes down the sewers as the Powers-That-Be reminds us mortals that
there are even greater things than the boob-tube, the neighbors and
the wackos that run countries.
P.S.TTWRTC nothing beats
the smell of your loved ones though. And thats for another time for
me to write about.
P.P.S. TTWRTC = to those who read this crap
