Who should I thank when the clouds fill the sky?
Who should I praise when the rain falls from above?
Should it be loud-thundering Zeus as king of the heavens, as the lightning fills the sky with flashing, dancing lights?
Should it be Hera whose hand is above while she stirs clouds and their proceeding showers to benefit us all?
Should my regards be to the Pleiades and Hyades, Goddesses of storms and rain, telling and bringing about the change, rightfully called stormy as they both dissolve and delight in the rain, famously weeping what falls to the earth with great pain?
Should there ever be a focus on only one when all can be rightfully honored equally?
Instead, I will give them all the time in my mind for a split share where none is left out, all know their right, their honored regard to what was always theirs.
