Water a Gi!t !rom God or "ommodity#Thomas Merton - "Listening to the Speech the Rain Makes"

Let me say this before rain becomes a utility that they can plan and distribute for money.By they mean the people !ho cannot understand that rain is a festi"al# !ho do not

appreciate its gratuity# !ho thin$ that !hat has no price has no "alue# that !hat cannotbe sold is not real# so that the only !ay to ma$e something actual is to place it on the

mar$et. The time !ill come !hen they !ill sell you e"en your rain. %t the moment it is stillfree# and am in it. celebrate its gratuity and its meaninglessness.
