You cannot stop the rain when it is already gathering in the sky. At times, you may worry about the storm, but there is no reason to fear it.

Little by little, the sky turns darker. Then you remember that this, too, is part of a cycle. Perhaps the rain comes not to disturb us, but to wash away the dust that fills the cracks and to bring clarity to the words left unfinished on our pages.

So let the rain fall over Jakarta this season, just as you allow yourself to embrace every thought, every lesson, and every possibility.
