"Brooding heat prepares the lightning strike": an inward turn and Will roots us to the spot!

When the spiritual world starts to grow, one feels like 'ran is coming'  before an oncoming downpour, it may thunder and crack with lightning, making fertile the ground and opening it,  and then the quiet as the drops appear one here and then there, and it crescendos and bursts ! Then the earth, the soul opens and is like a womb we have never experienced before this, and we may walk into it -if she allows us to follow, and invites us into her, to feel her magical and invisible power now visible for mortal eyes!

And there on some favorable days when warmth surrounds us: and we forget whatever we were, and feel being born anew! as a spirit-child with the mothers all around - in the trees, and the drops of rain, the light - all are her hands, and maidens and limbs working.
