Day out of time

In the Maya calendar

today is known as, "Day out of time."

I am thinking of the Mayans.
I am thinking about the ways they collected rain water
since they had no rivers or lakes.
I am thinking about how they managed in times of  drought.

I am thinking about those that came before.
I am thinking about cycles.


I am thinking about the circle of time.
I am thinking about climate change.


I am thinking about the crops that are burning up in
 the drought that is all across the midwest.
I am thinking as I do my daily watering.


We begin a new year.
We begin "Year of the Blue Resonant Storm"
 July 26, 2012 through July 25, 2013.
I hope it means the rains will return.

A thoughtful post Sherry. I have just read a book about homesteading in the Dakotas. The drought they faced without all the modern conveniences. Scary. Sort of puts our drought into perspective. Things could be worse. Ever hopeful...
