How to use «Rain» in context?

Rain falling from the sky is one of the most beautiful things to witness. When it begins to fall, you can feel the wetness on your skin and smell the freshness in the air. The droplets contrast against the blue sky, and when they hit the ground they create a sparkle. Even when it’s pouring outside, rain is still a calming experience. It can lull you into a sense of calm, and it can remind you that nature is still alive.
