"Rains: A Deluge of Customs and Saint Swithin's Legacy" From the iconic Morton Salt 1953 advert to the mesmerizing monsoon rain in Kerala, India, they have always captivated our senses. Just like Googie Withers in the film "It Always Rains on Sunday, " we find ourselves immersed in its enchanting embrace. As we gaze upon the view of rainclouds gathering over sand banks at sunrise in Instow village, a popular proverb comes to mind - "April showers bring May flowers. " Nature's symphony unfolds as raindrops dance on leaves and rooftops alike. A photograph captures Brooklands race track flooded, living up to its name amidst heavy rains. The overflowing Wey River reminds us of the power that lies within these cascading droplets. Intriguingly, even the Home Spirit World Paranormal Mediumship of 1887 acknowledges rains' mystical presence. Perhaps it is during these downpours that spirits find solace and connection with our earthly realm. A lone tree stands tall against a stormy sky on the horizon, symbolizing resilience amidst adversity. Utagawa Hiroshige's masterpiece "Wet Rainy Rain Raining Rains" transports us into a world where every drop tells a story. Across continents, from Banff in Alberta, Canada to remote corners of Asia like Kerala, rains shape landscapes and lives alike. A tree submerged by floodwaters serves as a reminder of nature's raw power while providing shelter for two young souls seeking refuge from an unexpected downpour. Whether it be through customs or folklore passed down generations or captured moments frozen in time through art and photography – there is no denying that rains hold an indescribable allure. They wash away sorrows and nourish life itself; they are both gentle whispers and thunderous roars echoing throughout our existence.
