Reminder from the water of life

I live in southwest Colorado. It is considered a semi desert here. We are blessed with irrigation water for our gardens and have had plenty all summer this year. When the temperatures go below freezing at night (which they have started to do now) our irrigation water is turned off and we let our gardens dry. This year that day came in the midst of political and financial "unrest". Many people expressed un-ease and a feeling of instability and insecurity.
As if to tell us all that everything will be ok, it rained all that day. Even when the security of the irrigation water was removed, the Earth Mother took over and gave us all a big quenching drink of water. The water of life.
