Quotes about rain
rain butterfly punishment
...trust in Creation which is made fresh daily and doesn’t suffer in translation. This God does not work in especially mysterious ways. The sun here rises and sets at six exactly.

He brings drought sometimes followed by torrential rains and if these things aren’t always what I had in mind, they aren’t my punishment either. They’re rewards, let’s say for the patience of a seed. Barbara Kingsolver

I once was asked to contribute to a mushroom poem anthology. I didn't have anything, and so instead ended up writing the introduction.
