Listening To My Belly Growl


It rained yesterday after several weeks of dry, leaden, blue hot baking, 90°+ skies.  Every now and again the earth wakes us to our place of helplessness, puts us in our room and takes away our supper.  We sit on our beds and think about the limited responses available to us, nothing really, just sit and wait it out.  We think about when it will rain, hoping and praying, search our ten-day forecast for that rain cloud and lightning bolt but see only the bright yellow sun.  We are okay at telling the weather but absolutely clueless on how to make it.  Whoever does that would be worthy of worship, in fact, if we knew we might build Him a temple so we could worship Him.  In our bedrooms, we remember there’s a temple on almost every corner in town.  We’re hungry. 

Yesterday I got to work in my studio with the doors open
listening to it rain.
