Piano in the Rain

like the 'candle in the wind' we so often sing of - i decided to come up with the 'piano in the rain'

when the pitter-patter of the raindrops grace our windowpanes, they come in varying degrees, sometimes a gentle splash or two, other times a fierce torrent of bombardment - either way, emotions ensue. and the murmur of imminent thunderstorms pave the way for a new composition on the piano. composing in the rain is a true past time, an unforgettable one. minor keys, how melancholic, always fit the rain best. (:

one might wonder how another can possibly love the rain - how bleak, how depressing, how hopelessly emo - but beyond that, there's an element of the rain that just beckons us to quiet reflection, with every teardrop that descends from the heavens, we suddenly become aware again of our maker in heaven. as as every raindrop seeps into our soul, there's a pleasant sense of rejuvenation.

then again - one shouldn't allow emotions to be intertwined with the weather too often. i do need to exercise control, especially when it comes to this human thing we call 'feelings'. pray more that the emotions would be founded on a relationship with God - all joy to be from Him and nowhere else - emotions independent of the weather, independent of circumstances. how difficult.

then again - God reminded me it's ok to be happy - as long as we sing His praises (: so let's keep singing!

Koinonia tomorrow, God, prepare our hearts and do a great work! haha practice today was messy, but memorable and most enjoyable. thank You papa!
