The Lightening Thief

Why must it rain with lightening? Why not just the rain? We're already wet, worn down and bare skinned. It seems as if the pain of the cold rain on hot skin just isn't enough to test our resolve. There always has to be more. The rain is beautiful alone. It is challenging and invigorating. It brings us to life. The lightening, on the other hand, is just too shocking, too jolting, too much.  It frightens every inch of us...

 We can navigate the rain. The lightening is what kills us... yet we have to keep going.
