Give Yourself to the Rain

Give yourself to the rain when it falls
Give yourself to the wind
Go with it
Blow through the bright dark
Green light on trees
Listen to the rain
Again--through sleep
Dream of it
Brace nothing against it
Safe in your bed
Listen
And give yourself to the rain
When it falls down.


​-by Margaret Wise Brown

There are times that life moves on with the wind at your back, gently guiding you and sending you in the right direction. And sometimes that wind swirls and gusts all around; toppling and crashing down the life that you know. 

The rain has returned to us here in Vermont. We have endured a lot of rain this spring, bringing green and growth to the natural world. Our life here at Tiny House has oddly paralleled these spring rains; it feels like we have had a lot of rain falling down around us these last couple of months. Unexpectedly. Our life - both the present and the anticipated life - falling down. 


And so we return from a whirlwind weekend that contained a trip back home, a family funeral, a door that closed, and an old possibility blown our way yet again. And what else can one do on a cold, rainy day, but follow the wise words of Margaret Wise Brown, and hope for the same green growth that the natural world receives.

​Give yourself to the rain.
