The Story Behind the Art

The Mercy of Rain

I always saw rain as a symbol of grief, as if the earth herself were crying. What I've come to see now is rain is actually a sign that growth is happening. Muddy, unseen, deep within-the-ground kind of growth. It's when the rose bush pauses her blooms above to focus on her roots below.

Our growth is like this, too; some seasons are filled with sunny days and flowers, and some are filled with rain and tears and putting one foot in front of the other. And although we would never choose the storm, I've come to see the mercy of rain is that it's in the downpour, the softening of our hearts, and the digging down deep within our souls that beautiful things begin to grow—a spark of new life emerging from the darkness.
