And It Rains

"Small Stone" for Thursday, January 10

And the storm weakens, yet it still rains.

And it rains, and it rains, and it rains.

As the rain washes away the dust of the past days,

And refreshes the streams and the air,

It also beats out a gentle rhythm,

A pulse that makes it easy to relax,

A cadence whispering “sleep.”

And so it’s time to go to bed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's been a crazy past few days for me.  My focus was shifted......life has a way of doing that!  But a slow, steady rain can slow things down.  Like the earth, I am also refreshed and revived by this rain.  In gratitude, I thank the Goddess:

Thank You Great Goddess for this day
for the blessings and lessons that came my way
May my sleep be peaceful in dreams and rest
and tomorrow may I do my best
