Here it is..a tropical downpour..can't even hear the thunder
for the sound of rain on the tin roof..the noise is overpowering. I can remember hearing it on the phone when
Graham called me from Brissy when I was in Clareville.
But to experience the massive downpour, the gutter
overflowing because so much rain falls from the sky, the steep roofs dispelling
the moisture, the trees filtering the flow..somehow
making room..absorbing the onslaught with grace that only figs and palms
can Even the mango trees slurping up the
wet.
How can I
explain what is like not to be heard inside the house for the overwhelming
sounds from outside. It is a wonderment
that I wanted to share with you.
Marcia woke
to snow this morning..and we here in Oz woke to cloud cover promising the end
of bush fires. The grace of the cyclic
system which reigns on earth..despite all of mankind’s attempts to change and
alter it, has once again given the land masses what is needed to bring nourishment
to the flora and fauna which exist outside of human nature.
The goddess
Demeter sees it all and pronounces it as good!
I just
thought I would let you know.
You are all
much on my mind..and so sharing this moment with you while the rains fall less
violently and the thunder echoes over in the next several valleys seems
important…
Hopefully this little note finds you all well arising from a
comfy sleep…
Demi In Oz..
