Let it Rain

The thunder and lightning last evening was followed by an intense rain...the kind that makes you stop and listen in awe.

"Listening," according to Dr. Alfred A. Tamotis, "is nothing less than our 'royal route' to the divine. It is also something very few of us do well" (Campbell, Music: Physician for Times to Come, 1993).

We've had a lot of rain lately...it can get pretty depressing. But it can, if we listen, be very inspiring. To quote Lord Byron,

There's music in the sighing of the reed;
There's music in the gushing of the rill;
There's music in all things if men had ears.
(Don Juan)

To quote Jesus, "He who has ears to hear, let him hear." Mark 4:9
