The taming of the small

In the I Ching Hexagram no. 9 it is written: "Dense clouds gather, yet no rain falls. Their influence is not enough to complete the result."

This is exactly the situation. Last night was supposed to rain, but no rain. Just warm strong wind. This early morning was supposed to rain, but no rain. An uncertain sun rose instead. At three this afternoon it was supposed to finally arrive the fulfillment of the weather alert for storms. The sky became more and more white-grey, the wind grew and grew, but up to now, half past five, nothing happened.

It feels like we are all depending on this never falling rain. As if our lives can't fully go on if the rain doesn't come. An exhausting waiting is going on and I am becoming almost obsessed by this never falling rain!
