Summer rain

[Mokuso]

Rain in the summer smells something very special. Mixture of grass, asphalt and water. Love that scent. And the experience of rain in the summer.
Summer rain. Feels love, happiness and well-being.

I love that smell too, and to watch it with a cup of tea through my window - preferably with me on the inside!

Gassho,

Rain soaks my hut then the sun shines
weather can change in the blink of an eye
but not as fast as the breath of existence
at dusk it’s hard to hear the morning bell

The health benefits of walking after rain. Isn't it something to do with ionisation?

The official term for it is petrichor, it is caused my the rain and verious chemical compounds released from the soil and brought from the atmosphere by the rain. Earth, sky, and water to purify. Beautiful.

And sometimes in the winter, I can smell snow coming just before it starts to fall. I don't know if anyone else has this superpower but, yeah. I can definitely smell snow before it appears.
