Rain

As I sit and sip my coffee and mentally prepare for the wet pedal commute to work I am reminded of a much loved phrase:

There is something to be learned from a rainstorm. When meeting with a sudden shower, you try not to get wet and run quickly along the road. But doing such things as passing under the eaves of houses, you still get wet. When you are resolved from the beginning, you will not be perplexed, though you still get the same soaking.
