mystery of a Goddess birth-- one spring night it all began a reckoning of storm emerged. Quiet, as a housewife's tears, with swirl of spoon on supper's stove-- somewhere above, the Gods did hear clouds in Gulf of Mexico. "Yes," they said,"she acted strange." So all the vapors rearranged and swirled with magick of a spoon each tear she cried became monsoon. A gathering of universe it's true, we saw a goddess birthed to at last eat words we spoke when at last the water broke. How she cried in birth, travail, how her tears ran river's trail. Thus her storm became undammed... on and on and on she ran. From Texas coast and inland sure across the southern ghost procured filling creeks and rivers kept a torrent in a woman--wept. All the pain she hid inside bled from the skies in nature's cry... Again, again, she could not stop. Nature spun a sorrow's top. Across the south and up east coast, she wept upon a mighty boast where they'd never seen such rain-- "How can one woman feel such pain?" Allison? She cried for days, that even I am left amazed. I, olympic cryer, sure. Alive and dry--I think I'm cured.  But anything for YOU, Martie.  Enjoy. |

OOOOOOOH, be careful! When storms are called, the Trickster also is afoot. I am a solitary, but I think you would be interesting to join with in ritual. Probably something we should not try. |

This has been a favorite since my first reading... but I'm finally getting over my fear of rain enough to enjoy it. *G* We should have been together when Allison visited... you would have seem me screaming at the sky... IF you could have seen an inch in front of your face. LOL |

I keep hearing 'I put a spell on you' as I read this one....  I know this isn't CA... but one thing I didn't like -- was the geographical references -- I don't know why but I tripped over those... *thump* or maybe I'm just clumsy happy solstice -- blessed be!

You feel free to offer advice Reb...and speaking of tripping...oh. Well. Let's just say I tend to fall down alot too. Thanks for the advice...maybe I'll play with it a bit, but alas I am a housefrau, and it is now time to go frau the house. ta ta for now and thanks for reading, and yes, thanks for letting me know what you didn't like too. I like the honesty, m'self. |

Just a touch of rain here, dear...perhaps that one time was just, ah, Kismet? Circumstance? Kharma? Rotten luck? LOL... Or does it have a delayed 24 hour reaction? |

What?...I missed a rainstorm?! What was I thinkin'? This is very cool, Karen, and I'd sure like a bit of that rain to hit here. Sure...it rained a bit the other night, but I want a REAL storm!
