The blessing of rain

[Richard Kerver]

Here.... 

Out West...

It is grace, to receive the blessing of rain, these drops from heaven.  We live in and of a vast mystery, that while our data sensors give us a view, can never be discounted.  It is a grace to be alive, that while the ever worsening news suggests otherwise, must be counted foremost among the myriad things we awake to every day.  It is a grace to understand those two - water and life - and want to awaken to another day to do more, reach farther, establish a higher goal.
