Bad Weather


My culture teaches me to think about cold and wet and rainy weather as bad weather. It occurs to me that a plant that hasn't felt rain for a week would think about wet weather as good weather. Rain is how the Earth brings water back to the ground. Cold is how the Earth slows things down and lets the land rest. Wind is how the Earth moves things. This gets me paying attention to how what is bad for me is not necessarily bad for everyone. Today I will be paying attention to how cultural invitations can inform assumptions I make about other people's experience.
