It’s raining outside. I know it’s raining outside. It bothers me. Not the rain. But, the knowing. Knowing is bothersome, as much as our minds are vexing. That’s where all resides – all that is worthless. The sound of the rain is gentle, it relaxes the spirit. The rain, like nature itself, cares deeply and dotingly. It’s the calling of a sea, it’s the promise of endless Springs. It’s magical, more than magical, it’s motherly and reliable. God speaks through the rain – Nature is hallowed (undeniably). Yet, to my mind, it’s annoying. We should slaughter the mind! I don’t know the reason in things. I don’t want to know the reason in things. Let them be meaningless. Let me be meaningless. Isn’t love the reverse of reason?   Well, I prefer love. Even that foolish love that blindly walks hand in hand with sorrow. Even then, I still choose love. If I could, I would not think at all. It’s raining outside. I know it’s raining outside. It bothers me. Not the rain. I bother myself.
