It has been raining for about two weeks now. We've been subject to the same kind of system which has soaked New England, damaging homes and wreaking havoc. I hope to see the sun tomorrow. It's been a while since we've had a sunny day.
Rain is a curious thing. It gives life and it carries death in its wake. Sometimes we pray for it. Sometimes we pray for it to stop. The right amount of rain causes plants and crops to grow and cleanses the earth. Too little, and we can die. Too much, and we can drown.
Rain illustrates the weakness of the human being. Tiny drops of water can completely overwhelm us. Gray skies bring sadness and lethargy. Lightning strikes have proven deadly.
We have had nearly two weeks of rain, not continuously but often enough. Imagine forty days and forty nights. How long would it be before we started building boats of our own?
We are strong. We dominate the earth, taming the land and annihilating whatever stands in our way.
We are weak. Raindrops, when they join together and fall relentlessly, can easily defeat us.
