There is this quote from my favorite Anime (Bleach) that Orihime Inoue says when it’s pouring raining in this one episode, it goes something like this:
“If I were the rain that binds together the heavens and the earth, whom in all eternity will never mingle, would I be able to bind two hearts together?
It makes you wonder, is it possible to touch someone’s heart from a distance? Does touching someone’s heart have to be physical? What does it mean to bind together two opposite ends that are never supposed to meet?
You’ll never be able to know what someone’s feeling or read someone’s thoughts, but you can sense it if you focus. You don’t necessarily need to touch someone physically to understand them, you can do it with words, with energy, with presence. The rain is an extension of the heart as it touches each individual with every drop. It connects long lost lovers and burnt out bonds without thinking twice.
Although we don’t see it, one can feel it. The rain is necessary to wash away the sorrows, sadness, emptiness, and grief. If anything, it removes all negative feelings from the world, takes it all on it’s own, and brings out the sun with a rainbow if you’re lucky.
The rain isn’t selfish, it proves that time and time again as it connects heaven and earth; two long lost lovers. The rain, it comes and goes based on the emotions of the heart. You ever feel a little off? Overwhelmed? Sad? Depressed? Then it magically rains, not just because the weatherman/weatherwoman finally got the forecast right. Ha.
You ever wonder why you feel so at peace hearing the rain? It’s because it’s taking the negative emotions from your mind/soul to allow the positive/warm emotions to flow once more. The rain is what brings life to droughts; kinda like it brings life to our hearts.
“If I were the rain that binds together the heavens and the earth, whom in all eternity will never mingle, would I be able to bind two hearts together?”
Yes, you would.
