Maybe, just maybe, some of you might know that I love rain so much… Particularly heavy rains… Well, much of the reasons are not concrete… Reasons which I can’t simply write down… But one thing I can write is memory… For me, there are memories in rain… Good ones… And bad ones too…
It was raining pretty heavily and there was lightning… All over the place… While nature is having a tantrum, we sat at the veranda and just watch the occurring…
Mom then told me that if you look out at a rainstorm, and see a lightning bolt, then you can make a wish and it’ll come true…
“What’s so hard about seeing a lightning bolt? There’s plenty of them out here to choose from you know?” I asked.
“Yeah, but you never really see them. Sure, you might catch one out of the corner of your eye, or see the sky flash for a quick second… but you’ve got to actually see one! And no cheating! You’ve got to see the actually strike of lightning, clearly, right in front of your eyes. Then… make your wish.”
I said. “Well, that was impossible… They are just too fast for me to respond to”
Truthfully, it was harder that I thought…
Emak then replied, “K, I’ve made a wish”
I said, “Now you’re the one who’s cheating!”
She then replied, ”Not really. See, the trick is to not look around too much… See, most people keep looking back and forth, back and forth, all over the place… But they’re moving too fast… So the lightning bolts are either right in front of where you’re looking, or right behind… And you never catch it.”
So I asked her what she did different…
“Well…” She said softly, “… I found out that if you look in the right place for long enough… Sometimes you get exactly what you’re looking for…”
I know that it’s kinda superstitious… Making wish… But what I’d like to say is that when we’re wishing for something, if we wish it long enough, we’ll eventually get what we want… Hopefully… hehe…
One thing about a heavy rain… Only you know whether or not you’re crying…
You’ve heard many times that “Breakfast is the most important meal of the day”… Now, recent research confirms that one of the worst practices you can develop may be avoiding breakfast… Why?
