This week was a tough one. My wife and I lost our dog Severus. He was absolutely one of a kind and a best friend to both of us. While writing this week's piece there was someone at the door with flowers from a friend and it was the first time that there wasn't chaos when the doorbell rang. Severus didn't care too much for someone ringing the doorbell at HIS house. He will be very missed and forever with my wife and I as an important piece to our family.  As you listen to the gentle and melancholic melody of the piano, let yourself be immersed in its calming ambiance. Each note played with delicacy and grace, conveying a sense of comfort and tranquility. The rain outside brings a natural ambiance to the piece, with the sound of the droplets hitting the roof and windows creating a serene environment. The combination of the piano and rain is a perfect match to help you unwind, let go of any tension, and drift off into a peaceful sleep. You can close your eyes and visualize the raindrops falling down, refreshing and cleansing the earth, just as this music refreshes and cleanses your mind. As the piece progresses, you may feel a sense of release and calm, letting go of any stress or worries that may be weighing you down. The piano notes continue to play in a gentle rhythm, lulling you into a state of deep relaxation. Take this moment for yourself, to disconnect from the world and find peace in the simplicity of the rain and the piano. Let this somber piano piece in a major key, along with the sound of rain from inside a house, be your guide to a restful and rejuvenating night's sleep.
