it rains and it rains

to quench the desert
of our arid hearts

Our hearts are engorged with condensed matter that streams of God's natural rain has trouble washing away for we are obliged to take on more matter every day. We need changes of habits to screen this matter down, then turn on the taps, and try not to drown.

never enough saturation for the heart...it dries up so fast....nice analogy...we have had torrential rain here and lots of flooding...
and yet, hearts grow thirsty for more and more love...there is never enough.

I hate to hear about y'all's floodin. Most of the rivers down here recently went down. Perfect for fishing.
You are right also. Our hearts can dry up so very fast.
