Look at the rain long enough, with no thoughts in your head, and you gradually feel your body falling loose, shaking free of the world of reality. Rain has the power to hypnotize.

Haruki Murakami
About This Quote

Rain has the power to hypnotize. Rain is an important part of nature and should be appreciated for its beauty. But it can also be mesmerizing. Raindrops are like tiny pieces of the world falling at you, one by one.

You can lie in bed and see them fall for hours, or you can watch the rain drip off the roof into a puddle on your lawn. Your mind will do nothing else but look at the raindrops, wondering how many there are, how fast they're falling, how high up they're going, if they'll miss your head or not. And if so many other people see them too, you may even start thinking about other things while staring at them.
