“Last night
the rain
spoke to me
slowly, saying

what joy
to come falling
out of the brisk clouds
to be happy again

in a new way
on the earth!
– Mary Oliver

Listening to the rain today from my screened porch was so peaceful. I love the idea of the rain speaking as it falls. I imagine the trees and plants whispering prayers of thanks as they joyfully soaked it in. Grateful for a few quiet moments to enjoy nature and the blessing of this much needed rain.
