Sliding the water up!

Driving this morning from the Novitiate in the rain was a lovely experience. Sitting in front I could see the rain drops fall on the glass in front but instead of rolling down, they were flying up! Due to the speed at which we were travelling, the rain drops which got accumulated on the front glass kept sliding up!! And we always thought that water slides down!! Life also runs that way, I guess. When you are on a mission and are passionate about it, all the rest give way to that one goal you wish to achieve - even if that means, 'sliding the water up'! Like Santiago being told in The Alchemist "When you dream for something the whole world conspires to it."
