Pluviophile

Let the rain kiss you. Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops. Let the rain sing you a lullaby.

Langston Hughes

These words speak to me!

I love the rain.

I love the smell of rain, petrichor. See prior post on this.

I love the feeling in the air when you can feel the rain is on its way.

Puddles.

The drops of water that dance on leaves.

The cozy feeling that begs for a nap, reading a good book, or baking comfort food.

Today, I learned there is a name for it.

Pluviophile — someone who finds joy, calm, and even inspiration in rain
