Rain clouds and overcast skies have always carried with it a sense of foreboding to most people--that ominous feeling that they have that something bad is going to happen that fills them with anxiety.
I used to have a sense of anxiety when it came to rain clouds because of my experiences with Hurricane Katrina (after all, being trapped in a hurricane-ravaged city for five days would leave anyone a bit anxious whenever it comes to thunderstorms :-) ). But as I have learned to look beyond my fear and anxiety and instead closely examine the clouds themselves and nature for what they have to offer and show me, I have learned that if you learn to look past your sense of foreboding, there is not only beauty but much more to be experienced--and discovered.
