Listening….

Today it rained, which was welcome after a very long and very hot and dry spell. The parched grass on my scruffy lawn gave an almost audible sigh and drank in the moisture, growing visibly greener in the course of the day. The Grackles and Robins splashed in the birdbath and couldn’t seem to believe their luck. Even the rabbit that lives beside the garage seemed to be happier.

So what? Well, perhaps Nature was sending us all a message. Me? I felt it personally. Relax. Get gentle, let things grow. Be generous with your bounty. Love where you are, love those around you.

Nature speaks in many ways. Perhaps we should listen more often.
