When the mind is juggling around multiple things, the moist and the sound of an early morning rain calms us down. That’s how I came across the above image of the rain by amandabhslater and sound of the rain by Effib.
I was puzzled on what concept to write about for my media lab 2 and was indecisive for quite a long time. Sometimes, when I have the work undone, it will pop up in my sub-conscious mind even when I am asleep. When such thought arose one early morning, I also heard the sound of the rain and felt the moist near the window sill. In that sub-conscious, sleepy mode, I decided on looking and finalizing the image and audio about the rain and that’s what you all see here.
I have so many, varied experiences with rain. I have drenched to bone in rain, cried in rain, hated the rain, feared the rain; Rain gives me pleasure, it shows me the pain, it had made me miss someone terribly; it makes me clean, it makes me dirty, it clears up my mind and it confuses me. The day, the situation where and when it rains decides which mood its going to shove me into.
When I couple the above image of the rain with the audio, it gives me a flash of all memories and experiences, I had with rain in a second. I am uncertain if the image or the audio presented separately would give the same feel as we see it together. There is always a power when things come together than singularity.
Saranya, I thoroughly enjoyed your post and appreciate for how immersive you wrap the reader mentally. You were able to allow us to relate to your experiences and memories and cause ourselves to think about them. I personally love the rain and I thrive whenever it does. For me, it allows me to perform anything to the most optimal potential I am able to do.
Water is a gift from mother earth and I’ve always said, “Rain is the show of water dancing for us”. It can definitely be a magical experience and a rough one too.
Thank you so much for sharing and best of luck throughout the rest of the semester!
