Last Saturday I was closing my station after a busy night at the restaurant I work at. Shortly after the last guest left, a light rain began to fall. I made my way to the back alley with pots of scalding hot grease to dump into our 55 gallon oil drums. That strange rain smell permeated from the asphalt while I transferred dirty burger grease, burnt brussel sprouts, and oil that fried so many shiitake mushrooms it became infused with the aroma. I found peace in the brief moment where the rain hits the hot oil, gently bubbling and sizzling until the temperatures meet.

A rainy night sparks my mind into one mood: contemplations over a jazz record. Jazz and rain go hand in hand like Tom and Jerry, like peanut butter and jelly, or like tomato soup and a grilled cheese. The inspiration is watered and here lies the new greenery.

Something about the smell of the air and the sound of tires against wet pavement - soooothing!

the soothing white noise of a heavy downpour, sheets of rain blurring the distance, wind blowing a gentle mist upon my skin, crickets singing, a soaked grackle taking refuge under the covered patio, humidity transformed into a cooling wash of the world…
warm rains remind my body of Thailand’s rainy season, how alive & content it always made me feel, like waking up from a midday nap of the perfect length, ready to take on the rest of the afternoon
