There is a distinct divide in the human personality: those who see a gray sky and feel a sense of dread, and those who see it as an invitation to slow down.

“Rain is grace; rain is the sky condescending to the earth; without rain, there would be no life.” – John Updike Updike elevates rain to a holy act. Enjoying it means recognizing that you are witnessing a life-giving transaction between the heavens and the earth. “The sound of rain needs no translation.” – Alan Watts The philosopher Watts points out a universal truth.
