This past weekend would seem have to finally announced that Spring is most definitely here. Yet like all good things, it comes at a cost: a rainy Monday. Now don't get me wrong, I love the rain. But when you're trying to get out of bed to get to work the last thing you want to see is a gray sky and hear the pitter-patter of droplets the size of peas outside your window. On the other hand, there's nothing quite like running through the rain at night and dancing away in its cleansing glory, even in a city like New York where the rain is not quite so clean. Moreover there are whole dances and songs devoted to the power of rain. Rain is an inspiring life-giving force.
