When it rains

Well, you know, it pours.

It’s been windy this week. I regularly drive by the coast in Ventura, CA. When the wind picks up, so do the tides. They become choppy and white-capped.

I don’t love the wind but we need the wind, I heard myself saying.

Wind in the spring:

  • disperses seeds + spores

  • drives ocean currents

  • powers renewable energy sources

Wind has purpose. Like rain.

Like bad art.

Like “failure”.

Taken figuratively, the idiom suggests a wave of bad luck. It can also be used to suggest a wave of good luck.

Either way, it’s a wave we ride to get from one point to another.

Good or bad, growth is what we want.

Let it rain.
