Hush, child. There is nothing to fear. Those flashes of light are the Sky Father’s gift to Earth Mother. He fertilizes her so she can bring forth new life. Sometimes, it’s true, his passion is so strong it harms one of her children. But you’re safe here in our home, safe here in my arms. That rumble is Sky Father calling to Earth Mother, telling her he’s on his way. Do you see how she awaits him? Hear the hush before he arrives? Leaves lift their faces to his coming. Birds cease their twitter. Ah! He comes, bringing the rain.
