The Sound of Rain

This is a quick one today, as it's almost two in the morning.

I really like the sound of rain striking our skylight.  I find it very comforting.  Especially a light rain, and especially in the morning.  The quiet patter it creates helps ease me into full consciousness.  It feels as if the outside world is waking up and moving at the same slow, steady pace I am.  Maybe it has something to do with our primal connection to our mother's heartbeat in the womb.  I'm no psychologist or obstetrician, so I don't know.

There's a light rain hitting the glass right now, and I wish I could hear it from the bedroom.  I suspect it would do a nice job of lulling me to sleep as well.
