Yore`

1st rain

Did you see the rain?  The office buzzed with that question.  I have never heard such excitement nor seen such smiles over a rain fall.

The Yore` arrived.  The first rain fall of the season; the sky opened and buckets of water poured down as if they will never stop coming.  From very early morning, long before the sun came up, all was wet. The thunder and lightning woke us up, and the smell of wetness rose up to the windows from the street and the fauna around us; the joy of the first rain.

Only in a country that knows drought, a nation that celebrates the Festival of Water at the time it celebrates the Feast of the Tabernacle, such a reaction to a rain fall makes sense. 

272nd Day of Praise -

I thank you God for the Yore`, the first rain fall.  I thank you God that this timely gift reminds us that you promised to give us rain in its season and that we were blessed with it this new year of surprises.

In Pure Joy,

Orith
