Walking in the rain

Just arrived home from the coffeeshop having enjoyed immensely the first storm of they year catching me unprepared and totally drenching me. It all started while working in 2016 or 17 winter doing gardening  with my friend Omar for 6 months - he was making fun of me in the rain explaining to me his philosophy.

99% of people frown when the rain hits their face. its such a dominant reaction that it represents a std rain-face. - probably to extend the eye brows to protect the eyes.

So try to do the folloinng while in rain. Pull back your hood. throw away any umbrellas and do the hummm yoga-like exercise of totally relaxing your eye brows while being rained at.. keep testing with your finger for the frown dip… after lots of effort.... you may be one of the vary rare humans that can actually totally not-frown in the rain. As you are walking unfrowned in the rain you will see the contorted faces of everyone else looking at you in disbelief… their logic is undeniable the only you are not frowning is because you are protected from the rain with a magic superhuman rain shield…

And then you start feeling too. the rain stops bothering you touching you any more. Its a magical moment. when you realize that you are one of the very rare humans that walk walk in the rain with a smile welcoming it totally unbothered as if rain is pleasant dream like fluffy snow…
