The Earth is Nourished

The Earth is Nourished

It has already begun to rain.

The Earth is being nourished.

Plants and animals are getting what they need to grow.

I am tired. 

I slept too much yesterday. 

I did not sleep enough last night. 

I barely did anything all day.

The sky is turning darker.

I am having trouble seeing what I am writing.

I turn on a light.

Light is a precious gift.

It too nourishes the Earth, plant and animals.

I would have a very different life without light and water.

If any life at all.

Thank you for the rain.

Thank you for the light.
