Just to add some color to a cloudy and rainy day.
Raining again, but this time it is extremely welcome, you see, we
ran out of water. We have been using rainwater since we got here, but we ran
out and then found out that the pump to the borehole is on strike, might have
been for a while. So we where without water, no fun I tell you. The
reality is that anybody that has ever lived on a farm or small holding and
was depending on borehole water, will sympathize with this situation, the
things are costly and fickle and always lets you down at the worst of times.
We (Melissa, David, Riaan and myself) decided that we need to do
a rain dance. That was on Friday night, by Sunday it was pouring, it is
still pouring, I am starting to wonder if we did not overdo the dancing a bit.
We made a big fire in the fire circle, played drums and danced like crazies,
why not, we had nothing to loose.
Gratitude in advance is the most powerful creative force in the
universe.. This dancing for rain again made me realize the power of gratitude.
I actually called the dance a "thank you" dance, because "thank you"
creates acceptance and gratitude and we got the rain we asked for! While
"please" creates a need or a want - a Very small change
in words, but a very powerful shift in mind. So the ritual of dancing was
great fun, but the real creative power lies in the thoughts.
It might also have been pure luck, because the Weather
services did predict rain for Monday...
Tim testing the waters...
We might soon have to do the "sunshine" dance, if it
carries on raining like now... Tim just told us that our low water bridge is
under water, so we are going nowhere today. Nobody seems to mind, accept that
we are waiting for some new guests, a couple with four children, they are going
to stay in one of the other houses on the property. I guess we will see them as
soon as access is possible.
