A tribute to a legend that has passed too soon, take a look back at Prince's iconic Super Bowl XLI Halftime Show through a rain and wind storm. Setlist inclu...
His best stage prop: #Prince rocked an epic #Miami deluge at Super Bowl XLI. "Can you make it #rain harder?"
#Rainbook declares #Miami the world's greatest city of rain. A beautifully stormy day is all the more reason to come hunker down at the Miami Book Fair and hear why. Natural World panel @ 12:30: Me on Rain, Susan Casey on dolphins & Sy Montgomery on octopi! #MiamiREADS
Rain, Cynthia Barnett (F, 30s, shaking head gently with each line, 6 train)
Love to hear that she was shaking her head gently with each line. Thank you for spotting her.

A double-decker tree root bridge in village Nongriat in Cherrapunji, India -- the rainiest place on Earth. The storybook Ficus elsastica is part of the banyan family, and rain is the banyan’s mother’s milk -- even the reason for its heart-shaped leaves. The “drip-tips” guide rainfall gently to the ground, protecting soil from the pounding monsoons. Roots dropping from its canopy like showers, the mythical banyan needs no soil to get established, no groundwater to drink. The water and nutrients that give it life come entirely from rain.

Beloved, Let Us Once More Praise The Rain
by Conrad Aiken
Beloved, let us once more praise the rain. Let us discover some new alphabet, For this, the often praised; and be ourselves, The rain, the chickweed, and the burdock leaf, The green-white privet flower, the spotted stone, And all that welcomes the rain; the sparrow too,— Who watches with a hard eye from seclusion, Beneath the elm-tree bough, till rain is done. There is an oriole who, upside down, Hangs at his nest, and flicks an orange wing,— Under a tree as dead and still as lead; There is a single leaf, in all this heaven Of leaves, which rain has loosened from its twig: The stem breaks, and it falls, but it is caught Upon a sister leaf, and thus she hangs; There is an acorn cup, beside a mushroom Which catches three drops from the stooping cloud. The timid bee goes back to the hive; the fly Under the broad leaf of the hollyhock Perpends stupid with cold; the raindark snail Surveys the wet world from a watery stone... And still the syllables of water whisper: The wheel of cloud whirs slowly: while we wait In the dark room; and in your heart I find One silver raindrop,—on a hawthorn leaf,— Orion in a cobweb, and the World.
