Nature's Power

Nature decided I should stay inside as the overdue rain is coming in buckets.

We do need it and it is filling the leaves out, plumping them unfolding their large green hands that keep us cool in summer, shielded from intense sun, making a misty shell that protects from frost and scalding.

In other words, it's raining.

Nature's power is complex, however, and best described in floods of colorful words linked by feelings one has when out in nature.

Nature's power keeps people alert tonight for flooding, the dirt roads are getting slick and mushy, and you just can't laze out back basking in the sun and watch the spring.

Nature's power draws us to plant crops and harvest what we are able.

Desiring food grown here on the hill of once volatile rocks, now glacial debris that floats to the top of the garden constantly, slowly. Desiring we sell our surplus on our roadside self serve farm stand to earn what we paid for plants.

Seeing the ravens fly, crow and eat our leftover bread

is just a slice of nature's power.

Where do you feel the tug or push of nature's power?

Follow it.
