Please rain

Vancouver's rains are days of misty, drippy weather or days of downpours that never seem to end. Our rain is a drawn-out gray.

Today we had a rare spring cleansing: a sudden shower against a blue sky background. I watched the rain from the bus. When we stopped at a red light, I watched the sunlit rain drops bounce off a line of newspaper stands: "Massacre on campus".

By the time I had reached my destination, the rain had stopped. The air smelled of damp spring green and everything sparkled a little. It was a beautiful evening. I wish rain could fix everything.
