NOTE

Finding Bliss in Everyday Moments

The poem highlights the importance of being observant in day-to-day life, amidst the chaos and distraction. It suggests that amidst the frenzy of news and events, there is a serene and blissful spot that can be found if one chooses to see it. The concept of 'rain light' signifies both a physical phenomenon and a deeper idea, encouraging the reader to perceive the various layers of meanings in everyday experiences. The poem also emphasizes the constant change and dynamism present in nature, using the example of rain light as an illustration of how each moment is unique and different from the last.
