Mercy Comes Down

Two weeks early.

And I sit at my desk a few feet away from french doors thrown open. Just screens between me and the elements.

I watch rain fall--
breathe freshness.


The eagerness of the ground to receive is beautiful.
This ground is ready for rain. Has been for a long time.

My little camera rests in one fist.

My soul leaps longing at the rolling of thunder.

My mind turns to other ground likewise desperately in need...

And I wonder: Is my heart as eager?
Is my life ready for rain?

  6. Hey Sean, you took those photos?

    Don't tell me anything more about not being a photographer. Your second photo was something people with BIG DIGGERS only wish they can do.

    We need rain over in Datil though, it's as "dry as the hills of Gilboa" over here!!
