“A rainy day is just the sky reminding us to slow down before we leak as well.”
— The Sage
The Sage has always regarded rain not as an inconvenience, but as a gentle intervention. He sees storms as the sky’s quiet way of encouraging us to pause — to take a breath, let the world settle, and remember that even nature needs to release what it has been holding. To him, rain is less about getting wet and more about getting still.
When he warns that we might “leak as well,” he is pointing at the burdens people carry — the emotional pressure, the silent worries, the buildup of small frustrations that go unacknowledged. Just as clouds become heavy, so do minds. And just as clouds release rain, humans too need moments of pause before the weight becomes too much.
The Sage’s humour softens the truth: rain asks us to slow down, to listen inward, to notice what we’ve been trying to outrun. His message is a reminder that rest is not weakness but maintenance, and that a drizzly afternoon may be nature’s wisest invitation to simply stop and breathe.
