When the *&%@ is it going to rain again? I love the rain. Especially here in Galveston. For me, rainy days give the Island an even more cozy and almost haunting feeling. As if the Island didn't already have enough mystique and charm.
So. In order to retrieve the rain and gather an army of natural liquid relief for the parched ground, I've been doing research. On rain dances. Now hear me out.
There are many different kinds of rain dances from different cultures that span all the way back to Ancient Egypt. And of course Native American culture. Now. Rain dances weren't only performed in order to invoke precipitative relief of dry times. They were also held in order to bless freshly planted crops and protection for the harvest. But selfish need trumps protection of the harvest in my opinion.
The secret to a successful rain dance is to wear plenty of feathers and turquoise. So maybe. Just maybe. If we all band together and wear as much turquoise and feathers as possible, we can bring the rain back to the Island. There may need to be some jumping around involved in order to wake up the storm clouds since they appear to be hibernating.
If we're careful in our calculations we just might be able to spell the Island of its thirst.
