Rainy Thoughts

“When you drink water from a cup, it becomes part of you. When water falls on you like rain, it evaporates a few minutes later.
​
Similarly, thoughts can be consumed or dismissed. Is this thought nourishing? Is this feeling something you should drink? Or is it more like getting caught in the rain?
​
You’ll always feel the rain, but you don’t have to drink the rain. You can let the thought pass and in a few moments the sun will return. You don’t have to claim everything you feel.” -James Clear

Buckets of rain
Buckets of tears
Got all them buckets comin’ out of my ears
Buckets of moonbeams in my hand
You got all the love
Honey baby, I can stand -Bob Dylan, song “Buckets Of Rain”

Long as I remember the rain been comin’ down
Clouds of mystery pourin’ confusion on the ground
Good men through the ages tryin’ to find the sun
And I wonder, still I wonder, who’ll stop the rain? -CCR, song “Who’ll Stop The Rain”

Raindrops keep falling on my head
But that doesn’t mean my eyes will soon be turning red
Crying’s not for me
‘Cause I’m never gonna stop the rain by complaining
Because I’m free
Nothing’s worrying me -B.J. Thomas, song “Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head”

Just like you can’t control the rain, you can’t control your thoughts.

But you can control which raindrops and thoughts you want to pay attention to.
