"It is when the gray shades of life encircle me that I'm glad there is rain to think about.  Something absolute.  Something calculateable.  Something that speaks of reason and order.  And miracle.  Because I need to know that 1 + 1 still equals 2...that every time a raindrop falls, it must be born from some timeless formula that will go on and on always.  I need to believe that even when I don't know the how or the why, some Rainmaker does."

drought-stricken lives."
