Description | "The storm makes my heart beat wildly...God sends lightning across the sky....and torrents of drenching rain. He brings our work to a s top." ~ Job 37:1-2, 6-7 As a boy, Frederick Buechner loved the rain. He loved the feel of it on his face and legs. Above all, he wrote: "I loved the sound of it on trees and roofs and window panes.... I loved th e hiss of rubber tires on rainy streets and the flip-flop of windshield wip ers. I loved the smell of wet grass and raincoats and shaggy coats of dogs. A rainy day was a special day....a day when the ordinariness of things was suspended....and even people transformed....as the rain drew them closer." ~ Frederick Buechner, The Sacred Journey Why do rainy days draw us closer: Why does this hold true for "figurative" rainy days as well? How beautiful is the rain? After the dust and heat,< br>In the broad and fiery street, In the narrow lane, How beautiful is the rain. ~ Henry Wadswor... |
