Is It Raining Yet?

The world can be a dry and dismal place. Hot winds of misfortune can suck the life from you, leaving you feel as if you were nothing but a brittle husk of humanity.  All around you life is colorless, lacking vitality, lacking energy;  our life can be life a winter landscape after months of drought.  Yet, just when it seems nothing can be done, a small cloud appears on the horizon and finally there is rain...finally there is rain.
