Work to connect yourself to the "allness" of life -- instead of identifying with the smallness of it -- and you'll awaken to a greatness already living within you that is no more bothered by the little things in life than a mountain is made miserable by the rain that falls upon it.
Guy Finley
Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.
John Updike
Tears of joy are like the summer rain drops pierced by sunbeams.
Hosea Ballou
And what's romance? Usually, a nice little tale where you have everything as you like It, where rain never wets your jacket and gnats never bite your nose and it's always daisy-time.
D H Lawrence
Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain.

Troubles are usually brooms and shovels that smooth the road to the good man's fortune; and many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows not that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.
St. Basil
Criticism, like rain, should be gentle enough to nourish a man's growth without destroying his roots.
Frank A. Clark
I think of the garden after the rain; And hope to my heart comes singing, "At morn the cherry-blooms will be white, And the Easter bells be ringing!
Edna Dean Procter
Many a man curses the rain that falls upon his head, and knows that it brings abundance to drive away hunger.
Saint Basil
A feeling of sadness and longing, That is not akin to pain, And resembles sorrow only As the mist resembles the rain.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn's rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die.
Anon xx
May the sun bring you new energies by day, may the moon softly restore you by night, may the rain wash away any worries you may have. May gentle breezes refresh your soul and all the days of your life, may you walk gently through the world and know its beauty.

And when it rains on your parade, look up rather than down. Without the rain, there would be no rainbow.
Jerry Chin
There are times of great beauty on a coffee farm. When the plantation flowered in the beginning of the rains, it was a radiant sight, like a cloud of chalk, in the mist of the drizzling rain...
Karen Blixen
