Among many of the comically fucked-up qualities of my state, the constant droughts rank quite high, so you can imagine I just LOVE the heavy rain downpour in my personal redwood forest right now. What a soothing sight and sound, to see such a silvery curtain of water circulating and swirling outside among the forest in my windows and hearing its continuous, all-persuasive whispering in its secret, precipitation language.
I honestly believe the reason why us human beings find the sound of flowing water (rain, surf, nearby waterfall, etc.) so hypnotic and relaxing is because it brings back subconscious memories of when we were nice and comfy in the womb, surrounded by warm, flowing water and its sound. And the rhythmic, neighboring sound of our mothers' heartbeats. I think that's why it's instinctive I feel so relaxed while I watch/listen to the rain outside while relaxing in front of a heater vent. Now that's a cheap, natural high that requires no drug of any kind.
Gimme me rainstorm and a hot heater vent and I feel perfectly satisfied without a drop of beer or a hit of weed, as I do now.
