Eos Tear?

Eos is the Greek Goddess of Dawn. She’s the sister of Helios (God of Sun) and Selene (Goddess of Moon). It was her task to emerge from the ocean with her harnessed team every morning and herald the new day.

Eos had a son, Memnon (King of Ehtiopia), who came to help Troy after Hektors death. Memnon was killed by Archilles. Eos still laments Memnon and her tears are falling down to the earth every morning as dewdrops. So Eos Tear means dewdrop.

Did you ever walk in the rain... all alone?

It was not long ago when I was out with friends. It was a holiday and we had a lot of fun.
The sun was shining all day. In the evening we went to a tavern. At about 8 pm I decided to walk home. It’s a walk of about 30 minutes. When we looked out the window we saw dark clouds covering the sun and my cousin said we would drive me home. I didn’t want that, so he gave me his leather jacket (“You won’t get wet, if it starts to rain”).

I was a bit sad when I left the tavern, cause I left happy couples behind and I was alone. I have to admit that I was a bit jealous at that moment. I chose a way through a wood and fields and after some steps it got calm. Only a few birds were singing somewhere above my head. I stoped and looked up. A raindrop fell on my glasses and I removed them. Suddenly it started to rain cats an dogs.
All I heard now was the sound of raindrops falling on leaves and my cousins leather jacket.
The air became fresh and it seemed the whole world was deeply breathing in relieve that the heat was gone and everything cooled down.

A shower can wash away the dirt, but a summer rain can wash away sorrows.

My heart became easier and while I was walking alone through the rain I thought about the movie scene with Gene Kelly when he’s “singin’ in the rain” and I thought about that “glorious feeling”. I know HE sang about love, but MY glorious feeling was FREEDOM. My trousers and hair became wet, but I didn’t care. The sound of rain and my steps on the wet street – just me and some small birds smuggling together under some leaves in the trees gave me an indescribable deep feeling of freedom. And then I forgot my jealousy, I felt perfectly happy and I thought about a line of a Keith Urban song: “I’m alive and I’m free... who wouldn’t wanna be me?”
